# General workflow

Learn about the general workflow for the BigCommerce app.

Digital River integrates with the BigCommerce app with a seamless front-end purchasing experience. This configuration lets you see product details, merchandising, checkout, and payment information, while Digital River handles back-end functions, including behind-the-scenes tax compliance, payment processing, and risk mitigation.&#x20;

Digital River also works with BigCommerce to provide the convenience of the Digital River Prebuilt Checkout feature. Prebuilt Checkout is a configurable checkout experience that connects an upstream commerce system with Digital River's local pricing, logistics, subscriptions, payment, fraud detection, tax exemption, and disclosure services.&#x20;

The Prebuilt Checkout solution reduces the complexity of integrating with the Digital River APIs and our front-end libraries, thereby shortening your time to deployment. Refer to [Use Digital River Prebuilt Checkout](/bigcommerce-prebuilt-checkout-solution/use-digital-river-prebuilt-checkout-with-bigcommerce.md) for information on the workflow used when you have Digital River Prebuilt checkout configured and enabled.
