Online orders skyrocketed at Walmart, the largest retailer in the US, when the pandemic hit, making more work for in-store employees. At the same time, demand for certain products led to frequent stock outages. While Walmart's ordering app allowed customers to indicate their preferred substitutes for out-of-stock products, customers usually skipped this step. This forced the Walmart employees who pick and pack items on behalf of the customer to make the decision themselves. As a result, dissatisfied customers returned one in ten substitute items, leaving Walmart to refund the full amount of the product and pick up the cost of restocking.

Your on-site search bar is one of the most popular ways for customers to find what they are looking for on your site. It also offers conversion rates 1.8x higher than browsing alone! However, most e-commerce businesses treat search as an infrastructure cost like web hosting.

The search box may seem innocuous, but it can be a sales and conversion powerhouse!

The second generation of Ikea's novel Sonos-powered wifi speaker lamp looks a little sleeker than the first, sounds a bit better and comes in new shapes, materials and colour combinations. The idea is the same as for the rest of the Symfonisk range: hide a speaker in a piece of stylish furniture. In true Ikea fashion, the £179 ($169) lamp comes flat-packed, although thankfully only in three parts: the base, the plug and the shade. The base of the lamp is an 18cm-wide fabric-covered cylinder, available in grey/white or black. The shade is available in either grey or black and in two styles: fabric, as photographed, or glass, similar to the lamp's predecessor.

From virtual reality (VR) gaming systems to AI robots in industrial manufacturing, the development of AI technology is revolutionizing the way we interact with the world. But e-commerce is especially susceptible to AI disruption, as learning technologies and algorithms are currently transforming the way we buy and sell goods online. Not only can AI perform the tasks we previously did manually, but it can also optimize the customer experience and provide retailers with the information they need to make an informed business decision.

If you're looking for an easy way to clean up the house, Amazon can help. Today the online retailer is selling the Ecovacs Deebot T8 robot vacuum for $400, which is down from $550.

It also has the ability to mark areas of the house as no-go zones, the ability to climb over door sills that are 0.79 of an inch or less, and stair detection to avoid a tumble. Ecovacs equipped the robovac with carpet detection and auto-boost suction to up the power when necessary.

Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service that delivers fast, high-quality, affordable, and customizable language translation. This post shows how you can mask profane words and phrases with a grawlix string ("?$#@$"). Amazon Translate typically chooses clean words for your translation output.
