[Google's Ecommerce Answer: Shopping Actions]( In Depth by Daniel Sperling-Horowitz, 25th April 2018 Google's Shopping Actions is a major new ecommerce initiative. Here's how it works, which merchants are eligible, and how to get on board. [Google's Ecommerce Answer: Shopping Actions]( This post is by Daniel Sperling-Horowitz, the President and Co-founder of Zentail. On Monday, March 19, 2018 Google quietly published a blog post that set in motion a major change to the ecommerce landscape. Wherever shoppers are looking for products on Google's vast advertising network, they can now check out directly on Google without being redirected to the merchant's webstore.

Now Thompson & Holt have an innovative new type of cover for Amazon sellers, included as part of their Monitor & Protect package. This includes account health notifications and listing hijack alerts, to help sellers avoid suspension in the first place. But if sellers do get suspended through no fault of their own, there's cover to fall back on of up to £50,000 (around $70,000), underwritten by Lloyd's of London. This allows sellers to claim back lost revenues, less any savings made, while their business was unable trade.
