E-commerce platform Bigcommerce announced it has collaborated with Square to provide merchants with a simple and seamless way to expand their businesses and reach new customers by selling products online. According to the companies, Square merchants with brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. and Canada can launch a branded, customizable store in just a few minutes.

Omnichannel merchants utilizing both Square and Bigcommerce will be able to easily sell to customers across channels, both online and offline, while maintaining a holistic view of all transactions processed by Square, the companies said.

"Bigcommerce is helping Square merchants take their businesses to the next level," said Eddie Machaalani, Bigcommerce co-founder and CEO. "E-commerce has fundamentally changed the ways in which retailers reach and attract customers. Through this integration, we're making it easier than ever for merchants to grow their brand and revenue without the burden of introducing additional complexity to their businesses."

"Trying to separately manage both an online and physical retail store can feel like running two different businesses," said Terry Carter, CEO of Travertine Spa. "What Bigcommerce and Square have built will immediately improve my day-to-day business processes, freeing time that was spent on reporting and technology to instead focus on growing sales and serving our customers."
