BigCommerce Makes Integrating with Extend Even Easier with Elite Partnership

Today’s retailers face an increasingly crowded, fast-evolving field. To succeed, they’ll have to prove their value against competitors and meet their customers’ expectations with surgical precision. 

BigCommerce, a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established brands, and Extend are both heavily invested in the future of retail and its merchants’ success, They share the mission of empowering retailers to succeed in this ever-changing world, with leading merchants such as Z Gallerie and Renogy.

Here’s how Extend and BigCommerce work together to help merchants achieve their goals:

Drive Revenue and Loyalty with BigCommerce and Extend

With approximately 60,000 customers, BigCommerce is a top ecommerce platform that helps retailers drive billions of dollars in revenue — and Extend wants to help increase that number even more. 

Product protection plans provide retailers with a powerful point of differentiation — as well as a way to drive purchases and increase customer lifetime value.

Get started fast

BigCommerce’s flexible, open SaaS platform makes offering product protection a snap. BigCommerce offers a simple pre-built integration to Extend’s API solution, and Extend handles mapping product protection plans to the merchant’s warrantable SKUs. 

This collaboration means almost any merchant with warrantable GMV can uplevel their online offerings and benefit from a protection plan program in no time. Plus, the new revenue from product protection plans can help offset other costs in your tech stack.

Optimize your offers

The BigCommerce + Extend integration enables our team to optimize your product protection offers for attach rate and revenue. 

With this seamless integration, both BigCommerce and Extend highlight their commitment to helping merchants scale their businesses, drive revenue and deliver extraordinary customer experiences.  

Create long-term advocates

The post-purchase process is one of the most important keys to long-term brand loyalty. But brands that offer product protection plans from legacy providers (or digitally native solutions that rely on them for underwriting) lose control of the customer experience when it comes time for them to make a claim. 

Extend ensures merchants’ customers have a fast, hassle-free claims experience from beginning to end. And in the event of a product replacement, Extend sends customers back to your store — landing you a net new sale.
