BlueSnap is thrilled to be honored with the 2025 BigCommerce Technology B2B Excellence Award. This prestigious recognition celebrates our longstanding partnership with BigCommerce and commitment to helping B2B businesses overcome their most pressing payment challenges.
BigCommerce, a leading provider of open, composable commerce solutions for B2C and B2B companies, recently unveiled the winners of the 2025 BigCommerce and Feedonomics Customer and Partner Awards in the Americas region. These awards highlight the most innovative and inspiring customers and partners on the BigCommerce and Feedonomics platforms, and we are incredibly proud to be named the winner of the Technology B2B Excellence Award.
“For a B2B business, payments are usually not the first and not the second or third item on their list of concerns,” says Lance Owide, General Manager B2B at BigCommerce. However, “there is nothing more important than getting paid and getting paid on time. BlueSnap is a fantastic global solution supporting the payment types that most B2B businesses use.”
A Partnership Built on Innovation & Success
The Technology B2B Excellence Award recognizes tech partners who excel at solving complex B2B problems, drive efficiencies and deliver B2B-centric product features. BlueSnap was chosen due to our consistent dedication to meeting the evolving needs of BigCommerce’s B2B customers. Our payment solutions help B2B businesses create profitable, frictionless buyer experiences while maximizing payment ROI.
Our partnership with BigCommerce has always been about more than just providing payment solutions. Together, we’ve worked to empower B2B merchants by developing go-to-market strategies and technologies that fuel growth and streamline payment processes. By optimizing payment routing, offering localized payment methods and leveraging fraud prevention tools, we ensure businesses can focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving revenue.
Bringing Value to B2B Businesses
At the core of our partnership with BigCommerce is a shared vision: to help B2B businesses succeed in a rapidly changing digital landscape. BlueSnap’s technology has been instrumental in supporting BigCommerce merchants by simplifying complex payment workflows, reducing cross-border fees and improving authorization rates.
Our solutions enable B2B merchants to:
- Increase Revenue: By optimizing payment processes and expanding the range of payment methods, we help businesses capture more sales.
- Enhance Customer Experiences: Seamless, secure payments lead to happier customers and higher conversion rates.
- Reduce Costs: With BlueSnap, businesses can cut down on high transaction and technology fees, improving their bottom line.
One example of this collaboration in action is how BlueSnap helped a leading BigCommerce merchant consolidate multiple payment providers, reduce fraud and improve approval rates. The result? A more efficient, profitable payment system that allows the merchant to focus on growing their business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are B2B cross-border payments different from B2C?
As international commerce grows, B2B cross-border payments are increasingly important as B2C payments, but functionally they often lag behind B2C payments in terms of customer experience, transaction speed, amount of manual effort required and more. B2B companies can close that gap, and see a 25% uptick in conversion rates, by choosing a payment processor optimized for cross-border transactions.
Can I use BlueSnap with my eCommerce platform?
Yes – we are integrated with the major eCommerce platforms. See the Integration Partners page for the full list. We continue to add more on a regular basis, so if your preferred integration is not listed, let us know.
Can I set statement descriptors dynamically?
Yes. You can define the statement descriptor in three ways:
- Account level — You must configure an account-level statement descriptor, that serves as the default descriptor for all transactions. Refer to Defining the account-level statement descriptor.
- Per product (only with BuyNow hosted checkout) — If you are using our BuyNow hosted checkout pages, you can set up a separate statement descriptor per product on the Product Information page.
- Per transaction and per subscription — If you are using our Payment API or Extended Payment API, you can also define a descriptor dynamically per transaction and per subscription by including the soft-descriptor property in your request. Refer to the API documentation.
How do digital payments work?
Whether for B2B card processing or B2C card transactions, digital payments work the same:
- The gateway captures the transaction request and either encrypts or tokenizes the information, then routes it to an acquiring bank.
- The acquiring bank (which provides your merchant account) takes ownership of the transaction request. Its job is to get authorization for the transaction.
- The issuing bank assesses the request: Does the customer have sufficient credit or funds? The issuing bank generates a response — yes or no — and sends it back to the acquiring bank via the card network.
- The acquiring bank sends the response back to the payment gateway.
- The payment gateway’s final job is to present the answer either back to the merchant or to the shopper directly (if you’re using a hosted payment page).
