Mercado Libre’s first partnership with a major
ecommerce platform opens Latin American markets to BigCommerce
merchants
BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce
platform for fast-growing and established brands, today announced a
partnership with Mercado Libre (Nasdaq: MELI), the leading
ecommerce marketplace in Latin America, to give BigCommerce
merchants the ability to sell across Latin America to nearly 133
million unique consumers on Mercado Libre’s Marketplace. It also
marks Mercado Libre’s first partnership with a major North American
ecommerce platform and complements the company’s recent expansion
into the United States.
“We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers,
and this partnership gives them access to an entirely new variety
of products from BigCommerce merchants,” said Jose Luis Hervás
Fernández, director of Cross Border Trade for Mercado Libre LATAM
(Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia). “As ecommerce
continues to expand in Latin America, choosing BigCommerce as our
first major platform partner is important for our long-term
strategy and gives storeowners access to this fast-growing
market.”
BigCommerce merchants can find Mercado Libre via the BigCommerce
Channel Manager and quickly apply for approval to start selling
into the Latin America region. Key benefits include:
- Sell with confidence in a new market. Through free
currency conversions and language translations provided by Mercado
Libre, merchants can focus on selling their products knowing
they'll deliver a superior online shopping experience for their
customers.
- Simple Onboarding. All new merchants are provided with a
personal BigCommerce Key Account Manager to ease the onboarding
process, and support business needs every step of the way.
- Efficiently manage order flow. Through an integration
with BigCommerce Preferred Partner CedCommerce, merchants can
automatically sync product listings and centrally manage orders
from within BigCommerce.
Latin America was one of the world’s fastest growing ecommerce
markets in the world last year, and Mercado Libre – which sells in
18 Latin American countries and has global selling operations
active in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and
Mexico – is forecasted to account for one-quarter of all ecommerce
sales in Latin America by the end of 2021.
“Between shipping challenges, currency conversion and language
barriers, cross-border ecommerce can be incredibly challenging for
retailers to navigate, especially small and mid-sized merchants, to
capitalize on,” said Russell Klein, chief commercial officer at
BigCommerce. “Latin America represents a huge untapped market for
U.S. merchants and BigCommerce’s partnership with Mercado Libre
removes these barriers, opening the door to an expansive
opportunity for them to reach millions of consumers to sell
to.”
