These storefronts can be powered by BigCommerce’s native Stencil framework or by a third-party, headless solution such as Next.js, Bloomreach, Contentstack, Contentful, WordPress and others.

Q3 and 2022 Financial Outlook:
For the third quarter of 2022, the Company currently expects:
- Total revenue between $68.3 million to $71.2 million, implying an organic year-over-year growth rate of 15% to 20% with revenue from Feedonomics in the base period.
- Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be between $14.4 million to $16.4 million.
For the full year 2022, the Company currently expects:
- Total revenue between $277.0 million and $282.9 million, translating into a year-over-year growth rate of 26% and 29%.
- Non-GAAP operating loss between $48.9 million and $52.9 million.
The Company’s third quarter and 2022 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.
The Company does not provide guidance for operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Non-GAAP operating loss, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Non-GAAP operating loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share and these comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
