🚀 eTail West 2025 is almost here! Want the inside track on game-changing trends, must-know insights, and key takeaways from the event?

Editor’s Pick🌟

Scaling an eCommerce brand isn’t just about optimizing ad spend and conversion rates—it also requires access to capital. Whether funding inventory, launching new marketing campaigns, or expanding internationally, many businesses struggle with cash flow constraints. Embedded finance is changing this, making funding more accessible without the delays of traditional lenders.

A recent partnership between Liberis and Vagaro shows how seamless funding can empower businesses. By integrating financing directly into Vagaro’s platform, salons and wellness professionals gained frictionless access to working capital, with performance-based approvals and revenue-based payments. In just one month, $4M in funding reached 200+ merchants, helping them grow without financial bottlenecks.

For eCommerce brands, this signals a shift toward more flexible growth funding models. Just as Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options have transformed customer spending, embedded finance could help eCommerce businesses secure capital for scaling operations, launching ads, or managing seasonal cash flow—all within their existing platforms.

Jessie Healy: People may disagree with me, but I believe there is a pretty clear marketing playbook for growing an eCommerce brand

and yet it is surprising how many brands miss key parts of the playbook.

Here are the most common areas I see brands miss the mark:

Early stage eComm brands:
-No/few email flows in place
-No brand ads on Google
-Not enough reviews/no reviews on their website
-Not getting user generated video content (UGC) about their products to use in marketing
-Not realising they need to invest in creative
-Testing too many channels too early
-Poor understanding of their LTV and CAC
-Inaccurate tracking
