- Shopify - they are following a salesforce model creating their own version of payments, CDPs, headless architectures
- BigCommerce - a much more open platform, letting partners fill in any gaps
- Composable and headless - they aren't in competition with one another
- Europe as the leader of headless innovation
- The Metaverse - there will be an increasing share of commerce transacted on virtual worlds
