The Digital Commerce Daily — July 16, 2026 In this episode: • A $53 billion bid to merge Stripe and PayPal would create the dominant payments infrastructure layer underneath virtually all of western ecommerce. • Kristi Argyilan — the executive who literally built Target's Roundel retail media network — is now at The Trade Desk, signalling a serious push into retail media from the buy-side's most powerful independent DSP. • UK ecommerce parcel volumes were flat in Q2 2026, but the data reveals a deliberate consumer shift toward high-value, considered purchases — with real implications for how brands should allocate ad spend by category.
