Multichannel Ecommerce News
Welcome to this week’s Multichannel Ecommerce News update. There were some noteworthy news articles over the past few weeks, including mass layoffs at 11Main, Etsy shuttering many merchant accounts, and the reason why Shopify shares surge from IPO. Note: there will be no mention of Amazon Prime Day in this article! (I’m still a little bit upset over some mis-advertised delivery dates, but that’s for another post…) 🙂
As always, if there is a story you want to share with us that you think we need to include, be sure to email us, or leave us a link in the comments!
