Episode Details

The Digital Commerce Daily — May 24, 2026 Your 8-minute briefing on ecommerce, social commerce, and digital marketing. In today's episode: • A PE-backed UK logistics provider snapping up a Dutch fulfilment specialist signals that cross-border ecommerce infrastructure in Europe is consolidating fast. • Digital Commerce 360's 2026 data reveals which retail model has pulled decisively ahead in online sales growth — and the answer has direct implications for where brands and platforms should be placing their bets. • Sovendus acquiring Berlin-based 35up is a quiet but significant consolidation move in European post-purchase monetisation — a channel that's gaining urgency as customer acquisition costs stay elevated. Fun fact: Amazon's recommendation engine — the 'Customers who bought this also bought' feature — is responsible for an estimated 35% of the company's total revenue, meaning more than a third of everything Amazon sells is driven not by search or ads, but by algorithmic nudges between purchases. That single feature generates more revenue annually than the entire GDP of many small countries. Hosted by Marco and Klara.
