Fortis, a recognized leader in embedded payments and commerce technology, today announced a strategic partnership with BigCommerce, powered by Commerce (Nasdaq: CMRC). BigCommerce is one of the most flexible enterprise ecommerce platforms available, serving brands, retailers, manufacturers, and merchants worldwide. This collaboration gives BigCommerce customers-including mid-market B2B sellers, distributors, service-driven companies, and developers-direct access to Fortis’ advanced embedded payments technology.

The connection is intended to provide real-time transaction capabilities, streamlined reconciliation, and next-day funding, all while removing the need for disparate systems and third-party gateways. By doing so, businesses gain the ability to streamline their checkout processes, improve operational efficiency, and drive growth at scale.

According to Greg Cohen, CEO of Fortis, “The partnership with BigCommerce marks a defining moment in our mission to transform payments from operational necessity into a growth engine,” highlighting the significance of the collaboration. Fortis is pleased to support embedded commerce’s future as BigCommerce develops under the Commerce brand, where integrated payments offer unparalleled speed, scalability, and competitive advantage. We are working together to rethink checkout and beyond.

Russell Klein, Chief Commercial Officer at Commerce, echoed the importance of agility in the modern marketplace. “To remain competitive, today’s merchants must possess agility.” According to Klein, Fortis provides the adaptability and strategic alliance that enable companies to speed up payments while maintaining their commitment to providing outstanding customer service.

Fortis and BigCommerce are changing the way that payments function in e-commerce with this collaboration. The integration ensures smoother checkout experiences, reduces backend complexity, and provides businesses with access to critical tools that enable faster scaling and smarter operations. By embedding payments directly into the commerce journey, the collaboration transforms what was once considered an operational burden into a strategic advantage, helping merchants strengthen customer trust and expand global reach.

Fortis has established itself as the leader in embedded payments, supporting software providers and ERP systems with billions in annual processing volume. Its goal is to turn payments from a cost center into a growth engine by quickly integrating them into software activities. Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Fortis is committed to redefining the massive B2B payments landscape by making commerce simpler, faster, and more intelligent.

BigCommerce, now powered by Commerce, continues to position itself as a trusted enterprise ecommerce platform for businesses across industries. By combining its flexible, open architecture with Fortis’ embedded payment solutions, the platform empowers merchants to scale without compromise, innovate without limits, and deliver customer journeys that exceed expectations.
