One of BigCommerce’s strengths is its diverse and effective ecosystem of technology and agency partners. Once a year, we recognize the top performing partners through our BigCommerce Partner Awards program, awarding those who go above and beyond for BigCommerce merchants.

This is the fifth year of the program, having grown to feature 18 categories evaluated by a panel of BigCommerce employees and executive leadership. Each category has three winners representing their region of operation in either the Americas; Asia-Pacific (APAC) or Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

It’s increasingly important in the current ecommerce competitive landscape for merchants to choose partners who do stellar work. We are proud of all of the applicants and value all of the expertise and hard work that our incredible global network of thousands of agency and technology partners brings to the table. 

And now for the winners of the 2022 BigCommerce Awards. Here are the partners awarded in each category.
