Can you promote in r/bigcommerce?

BigCommerce provides merchants sophisticated enterprise-grade functionality, customization and performance with simplicity and ease-of-use.
The short answer
Answer questions helpfully, clearly disclose any affiliation when relevant, avoid pitching or linking to your product unless explicitly requested or allowed by moderators.
What works here
- providing technical help about BigCommerce
- sharing experience or case details relevant to the platform
- disclosing affiliation when offering factual help
What gets posts removed
- posting unsolicited promotions or sales pitches
- DMing users without permission to solicit business
- posting link-only or off-topic promotional content
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo Spam/Self-Promotion
Rules explicitly ban promoting your own products or services unprompted and define spamming to include unsolicited posts and DMs.
Stay On Topic
Posts must be directly related to using the BigCommerce platform, limiting irrelevant marketing or competitor/product-hunt style posts.
No Links Only
Community prefers discussion-based posts with context rather than link-only shares, so promotional links without meaningful explanation are risky.
Professional Tone
Community requires constructive, courteous participation — useful when engaging as a vendor/founder.
