This edition of Commerce Corner covers early holiday planning, Shopify POS shared carts, Amazon FBA perks, an unexpected USPS rate increase, and the latest Ordoro updates. We are also spotlighting The Boardsmith’s inventive workflow and celebrating a new SourceForge award made possible by our customers.
🎄 Black Friday Planning Starts Now
Holiday shoppers may wait for the right deal, but sellers cannot wait to prepare. Inventory, promotions, fulfillment, and shipping all need a plan well before November arrives.

🛒 Shopify POS Just Made Store Handoffs Easier
A floor associate can start a cart, and a cashier can finish it without rebuilding the order. Shopify’s new shared carts feature removes an awkward step, while Ordoro helps keep the sale connected after checkout.

📦 Amazon Made New FBA Launches Less Expensive
Amazon’s updated New Selection Program offers eligible products fee credits, free storage, free returns, and other temporary perks. The catch? Sellers still need to watch unit limits, deadlines, and the 120-day clock.

💸 eBay Sellers Got a USPS Rate Increase Overnight
Some USPS Ground Advantage rates increased with less than a day’s notice. The change is only ten cents per label, but it is a useful reminder that small shipping increases can quietly eat into margins.

Packing-slip filters, smarter Purchase Order exports, better supplier details, and clearer manufacturing costs are here. These updates are designed to reduce spreadsheet wrangling and keep daily operations moving.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
The Boardsmith turns raw lumber into handcrafted cutting boards through a production process with many moving parts. Their boards are beautiful, functional pieces made to be used, loved, and passed down.
That same care extends to the business behind the products. As the company grew, the team found an inventive way to connect production, inventory, and eCommerce while keeping craftsmanship at the center of every order.
What makes their story special is how naturally technology supports the work happening behind the scenes. It is one of the most creative Ordoro use cases we have seen, and a great example of building systems around the way a business truly operates.
