Your BigCommerce Support PIN is a unique number only accessible to the owner of the account. This number is used by the BigCommerce technical support and account service teams to verify store ownership or that you have permission to access your store's back end and billing details.

We require some form of verification to ensure that only authorized parties receive your store's private information. While the Support PIN is the easiest way to provide this verification, our support team can also assist with other methods of verification if you cannot access the PIN.

 

Can't log in? Our phone support team can assist you with verifying access and recovering your login information. Please call us using the Phone option in the Contact dropdown menu. When prompted for the Support PIN, enter # and let the support rep know that you need to verify with a different method.

 
 

Accessing the Support PIN via the Control Panel

Log in to your store as the Store Owner. No other user role will be able to see the support PIN.
