Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Disclose any affiliation and prioritize actionable value for merchants — when unsure about promo posts, ask the mods first.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, question, showcase
Use a direct, descriptive headline; posts are usually first-person (merchant or staff) or neutral third-person for guides. Aim for medium-length posts (a few short paragraphs with concrete details, migration steps, screenshots or examples). Tone: professional, helpful, practical. What gets upvoted: actionable how‑tos, migration help, thoughtful product announcements that explain value. Avoid blunt advertisements or off‑topic pitches.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/bigcommerce's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
