Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FreedomPay, a global leader in Next Level Commerce™ technologies, today announces the launch of FreedomPay’s app for BigCommerce, a ready-to-use payment integration now available on the BigCommerce Marketplace. The FreedomPay plugin enables BigCommerce merchants to securely accept card and alternative payment methods, simplifying the checkout experience and reducing the administrative and technical demands of payment security compliance.

For merchants, payment friction is a commercial barrier. The FreedomPay app for BigCommerce removes it. The pre-certified, out-of-the-box integration is designed to allow merchants to benefit from:

• Fast time to market with pre-built, certified integrations
• Reduced PCI scope through hosted or embedded checkout options
• Consistent payment capabilities across platforms
• Long-term flexibility without rebuilding integrations

"Merchants should not have to choose between payment security, compliance and speed to market. They should be able to have all three," said Kevin Carson, SVP, Global Business Development at FreedomPay. "Our new BigCommerce Plugin brings the full capabilities of our Next Level Commerce™ platform to a new generation of online merchants, removing the complexity traditionally associated with payment integrations and giving businesses the freedom to focus on what matters most: their customers."

The plugin supports a broad range of payment methods across multiple channels. This ensures merchants can meet the evolving demands of today's digital shoppers. Backed by FreedomPay's world-class security infrastructure and centralized transaction management, businesses benefit from faster time-to-market without compromising on performance, protection or flexibility.

"BigCommerce is committed to empowering merchants with tools that streamline operations and drive growth," said Michaela Weber, SVP, Strategic Business Development & GM, Payments at BigCommerce. “The integration of FreedomPay’s app on our Marketplace provides seamless, secure payment solutions designed to help businesses deliver exceptional shopping experiences and adapt quickly to the changing needs of their customers.
