[YOUR INPUT REQUESTED] Removing 120,000 lines of code in a release? That's a spring cleaning success. Our talented devs just pushed code live this morning that removes 20x the number of lines of code that were added. Open source is great. There are ZERO limits to what you can do. However, with the benefits of open source comes great responsibility. It takes much discipline to remove what's no longer being used. This ranks up there with our record code-removal wins.

Have you heard of the official Luma replacement? No, it's not Hyva (why didn't Adobe buy it?). No, it's not Shopify or BigCommerce (nice bait and switch if it was). You'll be surprised to learn that Adobe has been working on an entirely new *system* for roughly a year. I have been digging into this topic for a while now. This is the first of many videos discussing what is coming with Adobe Commerce Storefront. Check it out: the link to the YouTube video is in the comments below. #magento2 #adobecommerce

WooCommerce seems ‘free’—until you start adding up plugin costs, security risks, and performance maintenance. We’ve seen brands sink thousands into keeping WooCommerce running when a migration to BigCommerce could have lowered total cost of ownership AND improved scalability. The best platform isn’t about sticker price—it’s about what supports your business growth long-term. Curious what a real cost breakdown looks like? Check out our guide: https://lnkd.in/gmzacA2z

Choosing an eCommerce platform isn’t about what’s “best”—it’s about what’s best for your business. Before you commit, ask yourself: ?? Do we need strong B2B features (quotes, pricing tiers, buyer portals)? ?? How important is scalability & performance? ?? What are our total costs over 3-5 years, including plugins & maintenance? ?? Will we require custom integrations (ERP, fulfillment, marketplaces)? ?? Do we want flexibility or simplicity? Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and Shopify all shine in different areas - knowing your needs helps ensure you make the right call. What was the biggest factor when you picked your platform? Let’s discuss in the comments! ??

Manufacturers: If you think eCommerce isn’t for you, think again. ?? B2B buyers are demanding digital self-service (quotes, inventory, custom pricing) ?? Direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales are booming for brands that cut out distributors ?? B2B eCommerce sales hit $2 trillion last year—and still growing We’ll be at the Missouri Association of Manufacturers Conference next week, ready to talk shop about: - How manufacturers can use eCommerce to boost revenue - Why platforms like BigCommerce & Adobe Commerce are leading the charge - The key challenges manufacturers face & how to overcome them Will you be there? Let’s connect! ??

If you’re still handling B2B orders manually, you’re losing time and money - plain and simple. ? What if orders, invoices, and shipping updates could be exchanged between your system and your buyers’ systems instantly? ? What if you could eliminate email order errors, manual data entry, and long processing times? That’s exactly what EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) does. For distributors and manufacturers, EDI isn’t just a tech upgrade - it’s the industry standard for high-volume, automated B2B transactions. Curious how EDI fits into your B2B eCommerce strategy? Let’s talk. ??

When you're weighing between BigCommerce and Shopify, the devil is in the details. Here are 5 ways that BigCommerce outshines Shopify ? Multi-storefront – Manage multiple brands from a single admin. ? B2B Buyer Portals – Built-in B2B features (no apps required). ? SEO Wins – Shopify misses a tiny, but massive, SEO feature. ? New Frontend Tech – Flexibility in design & performance. ? Payments – More control, fewer restrictions.
