News this week: Alibaba Group’s B2B
e-commerce platform, Alibaba.com, has teamed up with Sydney-based Bigcommerce to launch an integrated sourcing service.
Vendors on Bigcommerce will now have direct access to Alibaba’s suppliers from
its own platform.
Bigcommerce vendors
will also be able to access other Alibaba.com services including its payment
protection program and quality control inspection. Bigcommerce is an e-commerce
platform serving small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and operates
offices in Sydney, San Francisco and Austin. According to the company, it
currently has a user base of more than 55,000 retailers.
Michael Lee,
director of global marketing and business development at Alibaba.com, commented,
“We are partnering with Bigcommerce to make it easy for our customers to do
business anywhere in the world. Alibaba.com and Bigcommerce together are
building an integrated ecommerce ecosystem and helping introduce more small-
and medium-sized merchants and online stores to the global market.”
