The Digital Commerce Daily — August 13, 2026
In this episode:
• Google is killing a key Smart Bidding behaviour in days, and performance marketers running Target CPA or Target ROAS campaigns need to act before August 17th.
• Etsy's CEO has laid out a clear three-pillar AI strategy focused on personalisation and discovery — a sign that mid-tier marketplaces are betting on AI to close the gap with Amazon.
• The narrative that Europe's new parcel tax has slashed Chinese cross-border shipments by a third is being challenged — and the real data tells a more complicated story for Temu and Shein.
