Ecommerce.com Emerges From Stealth, Powered by Zen Media and Optimum7

Miami, FL, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

• Duran Inci named CEO of Ecommerce.com; Sarah Evans named CEO of Zen Media; the free AI commerce readiness audit and full technology suite open the first week of October
• Two years of private development under an exclusive technology partnership with Zen Media and Optimum7 Technologies, built on five years of proprietary engineering.
• A free suite of AI-powered commerce tools and an AI commerce readiness audit that scores how well AI agents can find, read and recommend a brand, opening the first week of October.
• The same technology that powers the site is available to any brand with a combined monthly budget of $5,000 or more across PR, SEO, GEO and conversion rate optimization.

Ecommerce.com emerged today from two years of private development under an exclusive technology partnership with Zen Media and Optimum7 Technologies. Global retail ecommerce will reach $6.88 trillion in 2026, according to EMARKETER, and when a shopper asks an AI assistant what to buy, the answer decides which brands get named, recommended and bought from. The AI commerce readiness audit at the center of the Ecommerce.com platform scores where a brand stands in that answer and what changes it. The full technology suite, led by a free suite of AI-powered commerce tools, opens the first week of October.

"We built this for two years," said Duran Inci, chief executive officer of Ecommerce.com and Optimum7. "What powers this platform comes from more than 20 years of running ecommerce businesses, five years of proprietary engineering, and two years of applied AI. Soon any brand will be able to see exactly how ready it is for the AI era."

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is an AI commerce readiness audit?

Answer: An AI commerce readiness audit scores how well AI agents can find, read and recommend a brand, then shows what to change. The Ecommerce.com audit engine runs from a single domain entry: it analyzes the technology stack, runs a full business audit, and returns a dashboard covering generative engine optimization (GEO) and conversion rate optimization (CRO). The engine comes out of two years of private development and five years of proprietary engineering, and it opens to the public the first week of October.

Question: How does a brand get named when a shopper asks an AI assistant what to buy?

Answer: A brand gets named when AI systems can find it, read it and trust it enough to recommend it, which is the work of generative engine optimization paired with earned media. Global retail ecommerce will reach $6.88 trillion in 2026, according to EMARKETER, and the AI answer decides which of those brands are recommended and bought from. The Ecommerce.com AI Accelerator is built to move a company into that answer, and its first-access offer is available now at offer.Ecommerce.com.

Question: Which ecommerce businesses can use enterprise-grade AI commerce technology?

Answer: Any ecommerce business with a combined monthly budget of $5,000 or more across PR, SEO, GEO and conversion rate optimization gets the same technology that powers Ecommerce.com. The free suite of AI-powered commerce tools is open to any business, and the wait list at Ecommerce.com gives first access when the suite opens the first week of October. Zen Media supplies the earned media, AI Notices and GEO layer; Optimum7 Technologies supplies the ecommerce development and engineering, drawing on more than 20 years of building and scaling online commerce businesses.
