45% of new online stores in Europe were created on Shopify last year, according to ShopRank.
What's Inside Every Issue
Talk Shop Daily lands in your inbox every morning at 9 AM ET. Each issue packs 12-18 stories into a 5-minute read, sourced from Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Modern Retail, and 100+ other publications. Here's the format.
Big Story + Main Stories
Every issue leads with one Big Story — an opinionated editorial take on the most important ecommerce development of the day. Below that, 4-7 main stories cover platform moves, payment shifts, logistics changes, and industry news. Every story is framed around what it means for your store, not just what happened.
Stat of the Day
One data point that puts the industry in perspective. Market share figures, growth benchmarks, earnings data, consumer behavior shifts, and survey findings — sourced from research firms, SEC filings, and industry reports. Each stat comes with context so you understand why the number matters.
Shopify Pulse, Lawsuits & Shakeups
Dedicated sections for Shopify-specific updates (changelog releases, API changes, partner ecosystem news), legal developments (antitrust suits, FTC actions, regulatory changes), and executive shakeups (C-suite moves, layoffs, acquisitions). These sections appear when the news warrants them — no filler.
Quick Hits + Tool Spotlight
Rapid-fire one-liner summaries of stories worth knowing but not worth a full writeup. Plus a Tool Spotlight section that surfaces noteworthy ecommerce apps and platforms when they make news — no paid placements, no affiliate deals, just tools that are generating real industry conversation.
