BigCommerce - Rokt Ecommerce guide
Rokt Ecommerce is a plug-and-play solution that applies Rokt’s proprietary technology to the BigCommerce checkout. It enables you to serve relevant offers from Rokt’s closed ecosystem of well-known advertisers to your customers after they’ve made a purchase.

If you have not already provided your payment information, a payment information page will appear where you can enter your details to receive payouts from Rokt.
