BigCommerce Releases Native Subscriptions Feature for Recurring Billing

BigCommerce has introduced native subscription management capabilities directly within the core platform and Storefront API, enabling merchants to sell recurring products without third-party plugins. The update supports custom billing cycles, automated payment retries via Stored Payment Method API, and single-page native checkout.

Before: Merchants required third-party paid applications with separate checkout redirects or iframe overrides to process recurring orders and manage subscription products.
After: Merchants can natively create subscription groups, set recurring discount schedules, and process subscription orders directly through BigCommerce's standard single-page checkout.

BigCommerce Releases Catalyst Composable Storefront Framework

BigCommerce launched Catalyst, a composable storefront framework powered by Next.js 14 App Router and React Server Components. The framework integrates directly with the BigCommerce GraphQL Storefront API and the Makeswift visual page builder.

Before: Developers building headless implementations on BigCommerce had to manually construct custom storefront architectures or rely on unmaintained open-source starter repositories without native visual editing support.
After: Developers can initialize enterprise-grade composable storefronts using the `@bigcommerce/catalyst` CLI, benefiting from pre-built GraphQL API clients, Next.js 14 App Router optimization, and native Makeswift visual editing.

BigCommerce Releases Catalyst Composable Architecture Framework

BigCommerce has officially launched Catalyst, a next-generation composable storefront framework built on Next.js 14, React Server Components, and Tailwind CSS. The framework integrates directly with the BigCommerce GraphQL Storefront API and Makeswift visual editor to streamline headless storefront development.

Before: Developers building headless e-commerce frontend applications on BigCommerce had to construct custom Next.js configurations from scratch or adapt outdated starter kits, requiring manual setup of GraphQL schemas, route handlers, and state management.
After: Developers can initialize a fully functional headless store using a single CLI command (`npm create @bigcommerce/catalyst`), complete with pre-wired Next.js 14 App Router routes, GraphQL client optimizations, and Makeswift visual page builder integration.

BigCommerce Releases Catalyst Framework for Next.js Headless Storefronts

BigCommerce launched Catalyst, an open-source reference architecture built on Next.js 14 and React Server Components for composable headless storefronts. The framework features native integration with the BigCommerce GraphQL Storefront API and the Makeswift visual page builder.

Before: Headless developers relied on custom Next.js starter kits or legacy boilerplate code that lacked native GraphQL Storefront API typing and integrated visual editing tools.
After: Developers can initialize a fully typed Next.js 14 composable storefront using 'npm create @bigcommerce/catalyst' with built-in RSC architecture and Makeswift visual editing.
