Your online shop is no longer the center of commerce. ⚠️
In the latest edition of “Beyond Checkout: Leading Minds in Commerce”, Tim Böker, CEO of Gartenhaus.com, explains why AI is reshaping not just your customer journeys, but your entire business models.
His take: platforms are becoming the new center of digital commerce, while products, service and brand trust become the real unique selling points.
Commerce is shifting and maybe the biggest mistake right now is still thinking your online shop is the center of it. 💯

Commerce people, this one’s for you. 📣
Commerce needs more than foot traffic. It needs the right conversations.
That’s why we’ve built the Commerce Lounge: a curated business zone inside the World of Commerce designed for decision-makers, brands, retailers, platforms and tech partners who actually want to connect beyond quick booth stopovers.
A place for meetings that matter, spontaneous introductions, side events, podcasts, networking sessions and the kind of exchanges that usually happen somewhere between a coffee and “we should definitely continue this conversation.” 🗯️
And with strong hosts like Ingrid Lommer & Valerie Dichtl (Marketplace Universe), Kai Hudetz & ECC Köln / IFH Köln and Laura Kremer helping shape the space, the Commerce Lounge is becoming one of the key meeting points for the commerce community at DMEXCO 2026.
See you in Hall 7. 👋 September 23 & 24 in Cologne.

If you want a smarter take on where commerce is heading, listen to Erik Reintjes. 📣
With Beyond Checkout: Leading Minds in Commerce, we’re launching a new interview format featuring the voices shaping what’s next in commerce.
In our first edition, Erik Reintjes shares why Agentic Commerce may be getting too much attention, while community-driven trust is still underestimated. He argues that differentiation won’t come from access to the same AI tools, but from brand, proprietary data and real customer relationships.
And one thought that stuck with us: in 2026, Customer Lifetime Value could become the KPI that matters more than almost anything we optimize for today.
A sharp reality check from the CEO of MissPompadour GmbH and exactly the kind of conversation we want more of. 👀
