The Digital Commerce Daily — June 01, 2026

The Digital Commerce Daily — June 01, 2026 Your 8-minute briefing on ecommerce, social commerce, and digital marketing. In today's episode: • AI shopping interfaces are becoming the new product discovery layer, and brands that don't optimise for them risk losing visibility the same way they once lost it to bad shelf placement. • Linqia is trying to transform influencer comment sections from brand sentiment signals into shoppable, trackable conversion touchpoints — which would fundamentally change how social commerce ROI is measured. • European venture capital is starting to take creator-led commerce seriously as a funding category, signalling that the influencer-to-ecommerce pipeline is maturing from a marketing tactic into an investable business model. Fun fact: Amazon's recommendation engine — the 'customers who bought this also bought' feature — is responsible for an estimated 35% of the company's total revenue, making it one of the most quietly profitable pieces of software ever built. That single algorithm generates more money annually than most Fortune 500 companies bring in altogether. Hosted by Marco and Klara.
