BigCommerce Payments: A new, integrated way to process payments
BigCommerce Payments has arrived in the UK. Discover an embedded payment solution, built with PayPal, now available directly in your BigCommerce control panel. For the first time, UK retailers can manage payments natively in BigCommerce:
- Start accepting payments
- Managing payouts
- Tracking balances
- Handling bank connections with PayPal
And, all without ever leaving the store.
Unified management for payments and your store
For most retailers, payments live outside the storefront. You process an order, then open a separate tab to check a balance, issue a payout, or investigate a transaction. That context switching adds up quickly, and it creates holes in your data that make it difficult to truly know your business.
“Retailers are managing payments across multiple systems. It costs them time, creates friction and keeps money locked in manual processes,” said Michaela Weber, senior vice president of payments and financial services at Commerce. “BigCommerce Payments gives retailers one place to manage transactions, payouts and account balances. It’s a straightforward value proposition: reduce operational drag, maintain control and focus on growing revenue.”
BigCommerce Payments reduces context switching and reduces the holes in your data, giving you a more complete view of your company. Built with PayPal, it brings payment processing directly into the BigCommerce control panel through a co-branded integration.
The Money dashboard: Your all-in-one payment hub
Behind the scenes, the trusted PayPal platform powers payment processing through your linked PayPal account. On the user side, transactions are easily made through the BigCommerce Payments interface, where they then flow through your new BigCommerce Payments account.
The star of the show is the Money dashboard, which lives in the BigCommerce control panel. This gives you quick, direct access to manage and monitor payments and balance activity, along with:
- Real-time balance insights: see where your money is without leaving the platform
- Top-ups and payouts: move funds when you need to
- Bank and card connections: link and manage accounts in one place
- Currency management: handle multi-currency selling as you expand
Everything included in BigCommerce Payments
BigCommerce Payments was designed with existing PayPal capabilities in mind, ensuring UK retailers can rely on Payments the same way they’ve always relied on PayPal. And, all from a single interface.
At launch, BigCommerce Payments supports the following payment methods:
- Credit and debit cards
- PayPal Checkout
- Digital wallets: Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Buy Now, Pay Later: PayPal Pay Later, Klarna, and Clearpay
PayPal has established a long-running reputation as a reliable payment platform. BigCommerce Payments builds on that, ensuring the same reliability of PayPal can easily be found within your BigCommerce dashboard.

“Having payments handled directly inside BigCommerce has saved us a lot of time. It eliminates the need to reconcile across multiple systems and makes everything more streamlined,” said Dawn Turner, Owner and Founder of Indigo Fragrance.
On the impact at checkout, Turner added: “We’ve seen an increase in conversion rates since implementing BigCommerce Payments. The process is faster, smoother and easier for our customers.”
