A 25% increase in sales without spending an extra dime on ads? 🚀

That’s what actually moves the needle.

In this clip, Rick Emondts explains why Mollie doesn't believe in attacking new markets with massive out-of-home advertising. Instead, the strategy is simple: offer an all-in-one payment solution that feels 100% native to the customer.

As e-commerce goes truly global, the smartest merchants are shifting their focus entirely toward perfecting the front-end experience and eliminating checkout friction.

In this clip, Amasty CEO Sergej Derzap shares how learning from Shopify’s UX is actually making their Magento extensions better. But that's just a small fraction of our conversation!

AI in Action: How Amasty uses AI for lightning-fast customer support and smarter search engines that automatically translate synonyms across languages.

Bridging the Tech Gap: The ultimate vision of using AI chatbots to translate natural language into code, making Magento's steep learning curve a thing of the past.

Bulletproof Code: Why every single release must be approved by an internal "advocate of the client" to protect merchants and reduce risks.

🕶️ Is AR actually changing the way we shop?

We often hear that Augmented Reality is the "next big thing" in e-commerce. But is it enough to just have the tech?

In this episode, David Petersen from G*t Creek shares a surprising take on AR. Despite the buzz, he’s seen that technology alone doesn't always drive engagement. It’s about the human progression: seeing it, understanding it, trying it, and then - most importantly - sharing that experience with someone else.

What you’ll learn in this reel:
• Why AR might not be the "magic bullet" everyone thinks it is.
• The importance of the human journey in adopting new tech.
• Why "sharing the experience" is the real key to customer connection.
