What’s Changing?

BigCommerce recently introduced a new Open Payment Provider Fee for merchants on eligible self-serve plans who use payment providers that are not on BigCommerce’s Embedded Payment Provider list. Depending on your plan and annual GMV, the impact can be significant, with fees up to 2% of GMV.

As an Embedded Payment Provider, BlueSnap is exempt from this new fee structure, allowing merchants to avoid additional costs while benefiting from a unified global payments platform.
