1) No need to FOMO on Agentic Checkout. Adoption is slow. Most retailers don't want it. Walmart has even reported lower conversion rates from agentic checkout compared to their own site 2) Double down on discovery. Agent…
OpenAI. The pixel has landed in the OpenAI Ads Manager. Almost identical to the Facebook Pixel syntax it allows for user behavior tracking and conversation optimisation in ChatGPT Ads. The ambitious goal of $100b in reve…

Amazon Shop Direct launched last week and it's kind of wild... First of all, it's free (for now). Amazon doesn’t actually charge the merchant a commission or referral fee for sales. Whether a customer clicks "Shop Direct…

Criteo joins OpenAI advertising pilot in ChatGPT. As part of the announcement Criteo also published some data that I find very interesting. Aggregated insights observed across Criteo’s U.S. clients (500 Criteo retailers…
Every year Stripe publishes a letter looking at the year in E-Commerce and outlining trends. One chapter covers "The five levels of agentic commerce" and I think it worth looking into: Level 1: Eliminating web forms 📝 Y…

Whether OpenAI or Google wins the "Buy" button battle doesn't matter (yet). On-platform AI checkout so far is a rounding error in the world of commerce. The Reality Check: Scale: Google has the edge (1B+ users and 50M+ w…
Gemini's traffic share jumped from 19.5% to 22% while ChatGPT slipped below 65% for the first time since 2023, according to new Similarweb data. Google was waiting at the sidelines for a while. My assumption is that it w…

We were speculating about it at Productsup already in November. Now it's confirmed. OpenAI just announced they will begin testing advertisements within ChatGPT in the coming weeks. 🇺🇸 Initial Test: The experiment is st…
