The IDC MarketScape report cites BigCommerce’s strengths as a Major Player in B2C MidMarket Digital Commerce as:

Developer- and business user-friendly: The company designed everything about BigCommerce — integrations, interfaces, and the low-code/no-code front end — to be accessible for business users without the need for developer support. BigCommerce is also versionless with an API-first design, providing ample flexibility for seasoned developers to create headless and composable commerce experiences.
Flexible microservices-based, API-first, cloud-native, headless (MACH) architecture under the hood: While it is user-friendly, BigCommerce is extremely extensible by virtue of its MACH architecture capabilities. BigCommerce provides APIs and developer-friendly features to give buyers the ability to create headless and composable ecosystems for commerce. BigCommerce can also natively support multisite, multigeo, B2B2C, omni-channel, and multi-language commerce deployments.
Open SaaS ecosystem: BigCommerce offers open-sourced checkout, 95%+ API coverage of its platform, and a large app marketplace with easy, business-friendly integrations that don’t generally require an expert to install. (Note: BigCommerce sells in every buyer market segment in digital commerce, so some of these apps may be better suited to SMBs.)

“In our opinion, BigCommerce’s positioning as a Major Player in this year’s IDC MarketScape affirms our standing as a trusted partner for B2C brands and retailers worldwide,” said Meghan Stabler, senior vice president of marketing at BigCommerce. “Our open, composable platform and simplified approach to enterprise ecommerce provide a significant competitive advantage for our customers.”

BigCommerce also was recently recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide B2B Digital Commerce Applications for MidMarket Growth 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment and as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise B2B Digital Commerce Applications 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment.
