Following the agreement, Barclaycard’s infrastructure will be integrated directly into the BigCommerce platform.
This integration will allow merchants to have their payments system ready within days instead of weeks or months, with a dedicated support team from the beginning, Barclaycard claims.
The partnership will enable merchants to accept payments through a trusted, secure and compliant expert.
It will also allow sellers to adapt to check-out preferences in new markets, particularly in Europe, the company added.
