The Digital Commerce Daily — September 01, 2026
In this episode:
• The FTC is accusing Amazon of secretly rigging its own ad auctions to inflate prices — a lawsuit that could reshape how brands and agencies trust Amazon's $50 billion ads business.
• Amazon is mandating that all Pan-EU FBA sellers list on its Dutch marketplace — a quiet but significant policy shift that forces sellers to expand their European footprint whether they're ready or not.
• Bolt — once valued at $11 billion as the checkout platform that would dethrone Shopify — is now scrambling for survival with a pay-to-play bridge round, and the story of its collapse is a cautionary tale for the entire DTC checkout space.
