Commerce.com, Inc.
CMRCBusiness Summary
Commerce.com, Inc. operates an open, intelligent ecosystem of technology solutions designed to empower businesses to unlock data potential and deliver seamless, personalized experiences at scale 1. The company's platform supports various business models, including business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and small businesses (SB) 2. The platform provides infrastructure for online storefronts, catalog and order management, product data distribution, and digital content development across multiple channels 3. The company changed its corporate name from BigCommerce Holdings, Inc. to Commerce.com, Inc. on July 31, 2025, reflecting its evolution into a multi-product commerce technology provider and its role as the parent entity for its product lines 4.
The company's core business model revolves around generating revenue from two primary sources: subscription solutions revenue and partner and services revenue 5. Subscription solutions revenue primarily consists of platform subscription fees and recurring professional services, typically charged annually per online store based on the subscription plan 6. Partner and services revenue is derived from revenue-sharing arrangements, technology integrations, partner marketing and promotion, and non-recurring professional services 7. The company recognizes revenue on a net basis from revenue-sharing arrangements when the underlying transaction occurs, while other revenue is recognized on a gross basis 8.
The company's unified product portfolio includes BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift 9. BigCommerce is described as a flexible, enterprise-grade software-as-a-service (SaaS) ecommerce platform built for performance and extensibility, featuring an open, API-first architecture that supports both traditional and headless deployments 10. Feedonomics is a product data management and syndication platform that optimizes and distributes product data across various channels, including marketplaces, advertising channels, search engines, social platforms, and AI-driven discovery surfaces, while also supporting order synchronization and workflow automation 11. Makeswift is a visual site-building tool that enables teams to create and manage digital experiences with speed and control through an intuitive visual interface 12. These offerings collectively support customers at different stages of digital commerce maturity and allow them to adopt additional capabilities as their operations expand 13.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Commerce.com, Inc. reported total revenue of $342,349 thousand 14. Gross profit for the period was $269,597 thousand 15, resulting in a gross margin percentage of 78.7% 16. The company incurred a loss from operations of $(16,217) thousand 17 and a net loss of $(19,342) thousand 18. Basic net loss per share was $(0.24) 19. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $44,258 thousand 20, with restricted cash of $1,905 thousand 21 and marketable securities of $96,838 thousand 22. Total current liabilities were $108,186 thousand 23, and total convertible notes (net of current portion) amounted to $153,012 thousand 24.
Comparing the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, to the prior year, total revenue increased by $9,422 thousand 25, or 2.8% 26, from $332,927 thousand 27 in 2024. Subscription solutions revenue grew by $7,753 thousand 28, or 3.1% 29, to $255,623 thousand 30, while partner and services revenue increased by $1,669 thousand 31, or 2.0% 32, to $86,726 thousand 33. Gross profit increased by $14,259 thousand 34, or 5.6% 35, and the gross margin percentage improved from 76.7% 36 in 2024 to 78.7% 37 in 2025. Operating expenses decreased by $11,208 thousand 38, or 3.8% 39, from $297,022 thousand 40 in 2024 to $285,814 thousand 41 in 2025. Net loss improved from $(27,030) thousand 42 in 2024 to $(19,342) thousand 43 in 2025.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the company undertook a restructuring plan, the "2025 Restructure," to realign its workforce and optimize operational costs 44. This resulted in restructuring charges of $11,043 thousand 45. The company also repurchased approximately $59.1 million 46 aggregate principal amount of its 2026 Convertible Notes for approximately $54.4 million 47 in cash, resulting in a net gain on repurchases of debt of approximately $3.9 million 48. Additionally, in January 2025, the company entered into a sublease agreement for approximately six years to relocate its Austin headquarters 49.
Business Outlook
Commerce.com, Inc. plans to significantly increase its investment in research and development in fiscal year 2026, with a focus on embedding AI capabilities into its core commerce platform and extending Feedonomics as the data and infrastructure layer for agentic commerce 50. The company's strategy prioritizes durable revenue growth through improved customer retention, increased product adoption, and product expansion among its existing customer base 51. It also intends to grow its business by acquiring new customers, mitigating churn, and selectively expanding its presence in new markets, while maintaining a disciplined focus on operating efficiency and profitability 52.
The company's AI strategy is centered on delivering practical, merchant-facing outcomes, including improved product discoverability, higher conversion rates, and more intelligent storefront and shopping experiences 53. Feedonomics is positioned as a product data enrichment and syndication layer to distribute structured product data across various channels, including AI-enabled discovery surfaces, to help merchants remain visible and competitive 54. The open, modular platform allows merchants to adopt AI-driven services such as intelligent merchandising, dynamic pricing, agent-assisted support, and automated fulfillment at their own pace 55.
The company expects to incur additional costs relating to the 2025 Restructure of approximately $3.0 million to $6.6 million 56 through fiscal 2026, primarily related to relocation and retention benefits and professional services costs 57. Management anticipates that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will remain consistent in future periods, and gross margin percentage is also expected to remain consistent 58. Sales and marketing expenses are projected to decrease, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue, in the near term due to initiatives implemented to optimize operational costs and efficiencies from the 2025 Restructure 59. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue are also expected to decrease in the near term for similar reasons 60. However, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to increase as the company prioritizes investment in its core offerings throughout fiscal year 2026 61.
The company's new BigCommerce payments offering is expected to launch in fiscal year 2026 62. This offering is designed to provide an integrated payment processing option for small and mid-sized customers, aiming to enhance overall monetization of GMV, improve customer retention, and introduce modern payments capabilities in a scalable, capital-efficient manner 63.
Risk Factors
The company faces several material risks, including a history of operating losses, with a net loss of $19.3 million 64 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and an accumulated deficit of $641.0 million 65. Restructuring activities, such as the 2025 Restructure, which incurred charges of $11,043 thousand 66, may disrupt business and not yield intended results. The rebranding initiative to Commerce.com, Inc. involves costs and may not be favorably received, potentially affecting brand recognition and customer acquisition 67. Intense competition from well-established companies and new market entrants, some with greater financial resources, could harm the company's ability to add and retain customers 68. Technological advances in AI may disrupt the ecommerce and SaaS industry, reducing demand for services if the company fails to develop and integrate AI effectively 69. Data security incidents or failures to protect confidential information, including personal information of customers and their shoppers, could harm reputation and expose the company to material financial penalties and legal liability 70. Dependence on third-party data hosting and transmission services means increases in cost or service interruptions could impair platform delivery 71. Interruptions or performance problems with the company's technology or infrastructure could lead to service outages and customer dissatisfaction 72. The company identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to information technology general controls in 2024 73, which, if not sufficiently remediated, could impair accurate financial reporting 74. Failure to protect proprietary rights could impair competitive position and incur substantial costs 75. Legal proceedings, including intellectual property disputes, are costly and may subject the company to significant liability 76. Acquisitions or investments in other companies may divert management's attention and result in dilution to stockholders 77. Payment transactions on the platform subject the company to regulatory requirements and additional fees 78. The ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be limited by ownership changes 79. International operations expose the company to geopolitical crises, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and other risks like currency exchange rate fluctuations and varying regulatory requirements 80. Changes in U.S. trade policy and tariffs could adversely affect business and financial results 81. The market price of the common stock has been volatile, and the company has no current plans to pay cash dividends 82. The 2028 Convertible Notes, with an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million 83 and a 7.50% 84 interest rate, impose restrictions that may limit operating flexibility and require sufficient cash flow for interest payments 85.
Management Priorities
Management's message to shareholders emphasizes the company's strategic evolution into an open, AI-driven commerce ecosystem, unifying its BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift products under the Commerce.com, Inc. brand 86. This rebranding reflects a structural integration designed to support AI-led composable commerce and align internal operations across product development, sales and marketing, and customer success 87. The company's strategic priorities include continued product innovation, expansion of strategic partnerships, and development of AI-driven commerce solutions to address complex merchant needs 88. Management also intends to grow the business by acquiring new customers, expanding adoption and usage among existing customers, mitigating churn, and selectively expanding international presence, all while maintaining a disciplined focus on operating efficiency and profitability 89. The company expects to incur additional costs related to the 2025 Restructure, estimated at approximately $3.0 million to $6.6 million 90 through fiscal 2026, for relocation and retention benefits and professional services 91.
