Every guru seems to have a hot take on what you must do in 2026 or your ecommerce business will fail, and most of it sounds suspiciously like advice from five years ago with a fresh coat of AI paint. In this episode of Ecommosaurus, we sort hype from reality, breaking down which warnings are lazy scare tactics and which ones actually deserve your attention. We dig into AI-friendly websites, agentic commerce, tariffs and pricing pressure, declining organic search clicks, , Amazon inventory landmines, and the growing reality that you cannot simply turn ads off and hope for the best. The takeaway is not panic, but preparation. You probably will not fail in 2026 if you miss one trend, but you will fall behind if you ignore all of them.
