MercadoLibre Inc., the Latin American e-commerce giant, is partnering with Texas-based BigCommerce Holdings Inc. to give the online-shopping software-maker’s web merchants access to a new region.

BigCommerce, which helps brands like Skullcandy sell on their own websites, in online marketplaces and through social-media platforms, will offer its 60,000 vendors access to what has become the world’s fastest-growing e-commerce market. For Buenos Aires-based MercadoLibre -- Latin America’s second-biggest company by market value -- the partnership bolsters its efforts to increase cross-border trade.
