	Dear Stockholders:

	You are cordially invited to join us for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held virtually on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., Central Time. The virtual meeting can be accessed by visiting the following website and entering your control number: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2026. Stockholders will have the same opportunities to participate in the virtual meeting as you would at an in-person meeting, including having the opportunity to vote and to submit a question during the meeting using the directions on the meeting website. The notice of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Proxy Statement that follow describe the business to be conducted at the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual meeting, your vote is important and we encourage you to submit your proxy to vote your shares promptly. You may vote your shares by proxy by using a toll-free telephone number, the internet, or mail, free of charge. Instructions regarding these three methods of voting are contained in the proxy materials. We are pleased to take advantage of SEC rules that allow companies to furnish their proxy materials over the internet. We are mailing to many of our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a paper copy of our proxy materials and our 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders (the “Annual Report”). This process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need more promptly, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials. The Notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials and Annual Report and to cast your vote via the internet. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials and our Annual Report. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice will receive a paper copy of our proxy materials and Annual Report by mail. We look forward to having you attend the virtual meeting.

Chad Collins Chief Executive Officer



		Sincerely,

		Chad Collins
		Chief Executive Officer

APPENDIX A - RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE			A-1


1.	Q	Who is entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	The Board has set March 30, 2026 as the record date for the 2026 Annual Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on March 30, 2026, you are entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting. As of the record date, 36,967,108 shares of common stock, representing all of our voting stock, were issued and outstanding and, therefore, eligible to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
2.	Q	What are my voting rights?
	A	Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Therefore, a total of 36,967,108 votes are entitled to be cast at the 2026 Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting.
3.	Q	How many shares must be present to hold the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	In accordance with our bylaws, the holders of shares equal to a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date must be present at the 2026 Annual Meeting in order to hold the 2026 Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares are counted as present at the 2026 Annual Meeting if: •you are present (virtually) and vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting; or •you have properly and timely submitted your proxy as described below under “How do I submit my proxy?”
4.	Q	What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?
	A	If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. In that case, your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote their shares using the method described below under “How do I submit my proxy?”


5.	Q	How can I attend the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	All of our stockholders are invited to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting virtually. The 2026 Annual Meeting is not being held in person. We believe that hosting the 2026 Annual Meeting online enables increased attendance and participation from locations around the world. The 2026 Annual Meeting has been designed to provide the same rights to participate as you would have at an in-person 2026 Annual Meeting.
6.	Q	What do I need to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	We will be hosting our 2026 Annual Meeting via live webcast. Stockholders can attend the 2026 Annual Meeting online at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2026. The webcast will begin at 8:00 a.m., Central Time. We encourage you to access the 2026 Annual Meeting prior to the start time. In order to participate in the 2026 Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number located on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.
7.	Q	How can I submit a question at the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	If you would like to submit a question at the 2026 Annual Meeting, you may type your question into the dialog box provided at any point during the virtual 2026 Annual Meeting (until the floor is closed to questions). In order to allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible, we limit each stockholder to two questions. Questions and answers may be grouped by topic and substantially similar questions may be answered at once.
8.	Q	What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	If you encounter any technical difficulties with accessing the virtual 2026 Annual Meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the 2026 Annual Meeting website log-in page.


Time and Date 8:00 a.m., Central Time Thursday, May 28, 2026						Access The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is virtual only. Join us via: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2026


IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 28, 2026: This Notice of the 2026 Annual Meeting, 2026 Proxy Statement, and 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at www.proxyvote.com.


			2			Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders


1.	Q	What is a proxy?
	A	A proxy is a designation for another person to vote stock you own; that other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is called a form of proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Two executive officers, Chad Collins and Joseph Del Preto, have been designated as proxies for our 2026 Annual Meeting.
2.	Q	If I received a one-page Notice, how can I receive a full set of printed proxy materials?
	A	As permitted by SEC rules, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet to stockholders who have not previously requested printed proxy materials, which reduces our costs and the environmental impact of our 2026 Annual Meeting. The Notice contains instructions on how to request a printed set of proxy materials, which we will provide to stockholders upon request at no cost to the requesting stockholder within three business days after receiving the request. If you would like to request a printed set of proxy materials, please make your request on or before May 14, 2026 to facilitate timely delivery.


3.	Q	How do I submit my proxy?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record, you can submit your vote for the 2026 Annual Meeting in any of the following ways: •over the internet using www.proxyvote.com; •by telephone by calling a toll-free number; or •signing, dating, and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided. To vote by telephone or the internet, you will need to use a control number that was provided to you by our vote tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, and then follow the additional steps when prompted. The steps have been designed to authenticate your identity, allow you to give voting instructions, and confirm that those instructions have been recorded properly. If you hold your shares in street name, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank, trust, or other nominee, which is similar to the voting procedures for stockholders of record. If you receive the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voting instruction form (not a proxy card) to use in directing the broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote your shares.
4.	Q	What does it mean if I receive more than one printed set of proxy materials?
	A	If you receive more than one Notice or printed set of proxy materials, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, vote once for each control number you receive as described above under “How do I submit my proxy?”
5.	Q	Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?
	A	SPS pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks, trusts, or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders. In addition, our directors, officers, and regular employees may solicit proxies personally, telephonically, electronically or by other means of communication. Our directors, officers and regular employees will receive no additional compensation for their services other than such regular compensation.


1.	Q	How do I vote?
	A	See the “How to Vote by Proxy” section above for instructions on the different options on how to vote by proxy. See below under “Can I vote my shares at the 2026 Annual Meeting?” for information on voting your shares during the virtual 2026 Annual Meeting.
2.	Q	How does the Board recommend that I vote?
	A	The Board recommends a vote: •FOR the election of each of the nominees for director; •FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG as the independent auditor of SPS Commerce, Inc. for the year ending December 31, 2026; and •FOR advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs.


3.	Q	What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record and submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by internet or telephone but do not specify how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, we will vote your shares as follows: • FOR the election of each of the nominees for director; • FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG as the independent auditor of SPS Commerce, Inc. for the year ending December 31, 2026; and • FOR advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs. Your vote is important. We urge you to vote, or to instruct your broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote, on all matters before the 2026 Annual Meeting. If you are a street name holder and fail to instruct the stockholder of record how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, those shares are considered to be “uninstructed.” Other than the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2026, brokers may not exercise voting discretion as to the uninstructed shares on any matter included in the Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting. With respect to the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2026, brokers may exercise voting discretion as to the uninstructed shares. For matters with respect to which the broker, bank or other nominee does not have voting discretion or has, but does not exercise, voting discretion, the uninstructed shares will be referred to as a “broker non-vote.” For more information regarding the effect of broker non-votes on the outcome of the vote, see below under “How are votes counted?”
4.	Q	Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?
	A	Yes. If you are a stockholder of record with shares registered in your name, you may revoke your proxy and/or change your vote in any of the following ways: •by submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone or the internet before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 27, 2026 for shares held directly and before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2026 for shares held in the Plan; •by submitting a later-dated proxy to the Corporate Secretary of SPS, which must be received by us before the time of the 2026 Annual Meeting; •by sending a written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of SPS, which must be received by us before the time of the 2026 Annual Meeting; or •by voting at the virtual 2026 Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you should contact your broker, bank, trust, or other nominee and follow their instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.
5.	Q	Can I vote my shares at the 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record or beneficial owner of common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you may vote your shares during the virtual 2026 Annual Meeting by using the 16-digit control number on your Notice, your proxy card, or your voting instruction form, as applicable, on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2026. Even if you currently plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting, we recommend that you submit your proxy as described above so your vote will be counted if you decide later not to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting. If you submit your vote by proxy and decide later to vote during the meeting, the vote you submit at the 2026 Annual Meeting will override your proxy vote.


6.	Q	What vote is required to approve each item of business included in the Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting?
	A	A director nominee will be elected if the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the nominee. Any incumbent director who does not receive a greater number of votes “FOR” than “AGAINST” his or her reelection in an uncontested election shall tender his or her resignation to the Board, subject to acceptance. The Governance and Nominating Committee will make a recommendation and the Board will determine whether to accept or reject the offer to resign and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days of certification of the stockholder vote. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the 2026 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to ratify the selection of our independent auditor. For the advisory vote to approve the executive compensation of our NEOs, there is no minimum approval necessary since it is an advisory vote; however, the Board will consider the the proposal approved if the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the 2026 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter vote to approve the proposal.
7.	Q	How are votes counted?
	A	You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” OR “ABSTAIN” for each director nominee and on the other proposals. If you properly submit your proxy but abstain from voting for a director nominee or on the other proposals, your shares will be counted as present at the 2026 Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum and for the purpose of calculating the vote on the particular matter(s) with respect to which you abstained from voting. If you do not submit your proxy or voting instructions and also do not vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting, your shares will not be counted as present at the 2026 Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum, unless you hold your shares in street name and the broker, bank, trust or other nominee has discretion to vote your shares and does so. For more information regarding discretionary voting, see the information above under “What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?” With respect to the proposal to elect directors, if you abstain from voting for one or more of the director nominees or you do not vote your shares on this matter (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise), this will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. With respect to the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor, if you abstain from voting, doing so will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Your broker or other nominee does have discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal, even if the broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you. Therefore, we do not expect any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal, and accordingly broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs, however, if you abstain from voting on this matter, doing so will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.


			The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees. Proxies will be voted FOR the election of each of the nominees unless otherwise specified.


			Chad Collins Director since October 2023 Chief Executive Officer, SPS Commerce, Inc.
