[London, 14th February, 2022] - Candyspace, experts in designing, building and optimising digital products, is pleased to announce that the BigCommerce app, built by Candyspace, is now available for Contentful, the leading content platform for digital-first business.
The BigCommerce app provides a seamless integration between two API-first SaaS platforms, allowing businesses to connect their products in BigCommerce with their content in Contentful. This enables businesses to innovate faster and with greater flexibility to deliver the omnichannel buying experience their customers demand and their business needs.
Over half a million developers and thousands of brands and organisations around the world, including over 30 percent of the Fortune 500, rely on Contentful to create and deliver digital experiences across websites, mobile apps, digital displays and other connected devices.
Both Contentful and BigCommerce, a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established brands, are key members of the MACH Alliance - an ecosystem of open, best-of-breed enterprise technologies that are based on microservices, and have a scalable and agile composition.
“With digital channels increasingly serving as the primary connection with customers, it’s never been more important for brands to leverage the full power of their digital content to inform and inspire purchases,” said Kristin Brown, head of partnerships, EMEA/Asia at Contentful. “We are pleased to partner with Candyspace on the development of the BigCommerce app to integrate content and commerce for a seamless customer journey.”
