Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
In a recent case study on WooCommerce’s blog, Landyachtz, the iconic skateboard and longboard brand, shared how switching from Shopify Plus to WooCommerce transformed their business.
Facing high platform fees and limitations with regional pricing and checkout flexibility, Landyachtz migrated their store to WooCommerce in early 2024 and immediately saw major benefits.
By consolidating into a single WooCommerce site, they cut annual platform costs from nearly $45,000 to under $10,000 while gaining full control over currencies, payment gateways and checkout flows.

In this blog post, Elyes Rayane Melbouci reflects on how easy it has become to generate websites with AI but how most of them feel generic because everyone relies on the same prompts and shared skill files.
He argues that what makes work truly stand out is taste - the unique design sensibility you bring to a project and that taste can be encoded and refined in the way you train AI agents.
Instead of using other people’s skill files, he suggests building yor own, updating it every time an AI output surprises you or falls short, so that over time it becomes a compressed expression of your personal aesthetic.

Vervaunt explains why the idea of “easy” international eCommerce is largely a thing of the past.
Selling globally is no longer as simple as turning on international shipping or adding a currency switcher.
Growing complexity around taxes, duties, localisation, logistics, and customer expectations means brands now face far more friction when expanding into new markets.
The article argues that the brands succeeding internationally today are taking a smarter, more deliberate approach.
Instead of trying to sell everywhere at once, they focus on understanding specific markets, investing in proper localisation (from pricing and payments to content and customer experience), and building scalable systems that support long-term growth.
