## Description

Short summaries of the week's ecommerce news, sent every Monday. 301 issues since January 2021, weekly with no visible gaps. It covers platforms, funding rounds, policy and the large players: Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu and Meta. Recent issues covered Shopify welcoming all AI agents and Walmart's bundle membership. For app vendors it is one read on what changed around Shopify, not only inside it. The site also publishes daily news articles. Free.
