Introducing Commerce, the New Parent Brand of BigCommerce, Feedonomics and Makeswift, Powering an AI-Driven Future
Commerce’s open, intelligent ecosystem connects the tools and systems that drive growth and empower businesses to unlock data potential and deliver seamless, personalised experiences at scale.
Commerce’s unified AI vision enables every merchant to thrive in the agentic commerce era
BigCommerce Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading open SaaS ecommerce platform for B2C and B2B businesses, today announced the launch of its new parent brand, Commerce, and that it has officially changed its corporate name to Commerce.com, Inc., unifying BigCommerce, Feedonomics and Makeswift to power the next era of agentic commerce.
In connection with the name change and rebranding, effective on or about August 1, 2025, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “CMRC” and cease trading under “BIGC.” This strategic move introduces a bold vision for the future where AI navigates choices for consumers and businesses adapt with intelligent, composable tools.
In conjunction with the rebrand, Commerce also unveiled the company’s vision and strategy for powering agentic commerce where AI acts on behalf of consumers to research, recommend and even transact. To support this shift, Commerce is focused on enabling merchants with the data infrastructure and intelligent storefronts needed to thrive in this next chapter of digital commerce.
“Launching the Commerce brand is about more than a new name and logo,” said Commerce CEO Travis Hess. “It is a clear declaration to our customers, partners, investors and team that we are doubling down on innovation to give brands, retailers, manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers the flexibility, connectivity and care to help them move faster, scale smarter and grow on their terms. Agentic commerce requires a new playbook, and Commerce is here to deliver it with an open ecosystem built for speed, intelligence and flexibility.”
Unifying Three Market-leading Solutions
The individual BigCommerce, Feedonomics and Makeswift brands will continue to exist as three powerful solutions with a unified purpose:
BigCommerce is the flexible ecommerce platform that grows with merchants. It is trusted by teams that value speed and scalability, empowering innovation without constraint.
Feedonomics turns data into a competitive advantage, ensuring every product is AI-ready and optimised across hundreds of global channels.
Built for both marketers and developers, Makeswift is the intuitive visual editor that lets whole teams collaborate to create cutting-edge, personalised digital experiences.
Together, Commerce connects the tools and systems that drive growth, whether it is part of our family of brands or a trusted outside partner. Its open, intelligent ecosystem empowers businesses to unlock data potential and deliver seamless, personalised experiences at scale.
“Commerce is more than just another ecommerce company,” said Hess. “We are a trusted partner, an innovation engine and a champion that stands behind what we promise, and one of those promises is to provide an AI-driven ecosystem that aligns innovation with outcomes.”
Delivering AI to Drive Results
The way consumers discover and purchase products online is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Traditional organic search is rapidly losing ground as the “front door” of the internet. Instead, shoppers are turning to answer engines such as AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Google Cloud with Gemini, to find what they need and even buy it. In this new era, AI agents act on behalf of shoppers, searching, comparing, and even checking out across multiple channels, often without ever visiting a merchant’s website. These AI-driven experiences are seamless, contextual and increasingly the default for how consumers interact with commerce online.
For large retail brands and technology companies, this means that web traffic is already shifting as the old playbook of SEO and paid ads becomes less effective. The conversation is focused on regaining visibility and relevance in a fundamentally new digital landscape.
Commerce offers a complete solution for the AI era. Feedonomics optimises merchant data for every touchpoint and holds strategic partnerships with leading AI platforms. BigCommerce provides the operating system for merchants of record. Makeswift powers AI-optimised storefronts. Every merchant needs an end-to-end strategy with these pillars for success in AI-driven commerce.
Over the last few weeks, Commerce brands BigCommerce and Feedonomics have expanded partnerships with AI leaders Perplexity and Google Cloud to help businesses capitalise on agentic commerce opportunities to meet consumer expectations and create a competitive advantage.
“At Commerce, we leverage AI where it delivers real, measurable results: powering personalisation, automation and data orchestration across the entire customer journey from discovery to checkout,” said Vipul Shah, chief product officer at Commerce. “By delivering relevant, context-optimised data to digital channels including answer engines, and creating agentic tools to help merchants optimise their operations, Commerce helps businesses adapt in real time and grow intelligently. We're not just following the AI wave; we're in the room with the product and engineering teams from the leading AI companies shaping the future of the internet so that we are positioned to help our customers win."
Adventure brand Revelyst, the parent company of Bell, Bushnell, CamelBak and Giro; global consumer brand URBN, the parent company of Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and many others; and Tapestry, the parent company of fashion brands such as Coach and Kate Spade New York; and Dell Technologies are already leveraging Commerce’s product data integrations to improve visibility, protect brand consistency and boost performance across AI-driven search experiences.
“Since Travis stepped into the CEO role, he has assembled an experienced and visionary leadership team that came together with clarity and conviction to transform the company,” said Ellen Siminoff, executive chair of the board of directors at Commerce. “The launch of Commerce is the culmination of bold thinking, careful planning and hard work during a period of rapid industry change. This transformation positions the company for a return to long-term, sustainable growth. We are proud of our progress thus far and look forward to continuous execution.”
