BlueSnap, a global payment orchestration platform, has announced a new integration with Commerce, the parent company of the open, composable ecommerce platform BigCommerce. This collaboration introduces the first B2B payments and accounts receivable (AR) automation solution specifically designed for BigCommerce B2B Edition.
The BigCommerce B2B Edition, tailored for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers, will now offer enhanced functionality through direct integration with leading ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, and QuickBooks. This includes robust AR automation and bi-directional ERP connectivity, facilitated by BlueSnap’s integrated platform. The new capabilities are intended to help merchants streamline operations, improve payment efficiency, and provide a unified customer experience across their ecommerce and financial systems.
Lance Owide, General Manager of B2B at Commerce, stated, “BlueSnap’s automation solution fills a critical gap in B2B Edition functionality and buyer experience. Together, we’re removing inefficiencies, reducing operational costs, and unlocking growth in payment volume potential. BlueSnap is a game-changer for our platform and partners.”
Through this integration, BigCommerce B2B merchants can unify ecommerce and ERP systems by syncing customer and invoice data in real time between BigCommerce and various ERPs, aiming to reduce manual work and reconciliation errors. It also streamlines the buyer experience, allowing customers to view and pay ecommerce orders and ERP invoices within a single branded portal, with support for credit cards, payment terms, deposits, and split payments. Furthermore, the solution automates AR workflows, enabling features like autopay, early pay discounts, invoice reminders, and real-time updates to accelerate receivables and improve cash flow. Merchants can also simplify their tech stack by eliminating third-party middleware, consolidating payment gateways, and reducing tech debt with a fully integrated front-to-back solution.
Henry Helgeson, CEO of BlueSnap, commented, “With BlueSnap powering B2B Edition, merchants get a single solution for payments and AR that drives efficiency and enhances the buyer experience. This integration underscores the growing importance of ERP-led ecommerce and our shared commitment to innovation in B2B commerce.”
