About & disclaimer

What this site is

The Ecom Wire rounds up news, changelogs and events from eCommerce platforms and tools, and explains them in plain English. It’s run by Create 8 Ltd, trading as Create8.

How stories are written and checked

Our AI agent finds updates and drafts the plain-English summaries. Before anything is published, Peter Screeton, founder of Create8, checks each story. Every story links to the original source.

The check covers two things: that the original source is genuine (for example, the platform’s own changelog, help centre, blog or announcement, or a recognised publication), and that our summary fairly reflects what the source said at the time we published it.

The check doesn’t mean we have independently tested or verified every claim the source makes, or that the information is still current after publishing. Sources can be updated, corrected or withdrawn after we report on them. Being named as the checker isn’t a personal guarantee or recommendation, and it isn’t professional advice from Peter Screeton or Create 8 Ltd.

General information only

Everything on this site is general information. It isn’t legal, financial, tax, security or technical advice, and it isn’t tailored to your business. Platforms change their products, rules and dates often, and our summaries may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Always check the original source, and get professional advice where it matters, before you act on anything here. To the extent the law allows, neither Create 8 Ltd nor any of its directors or staff, including Peter Screeton, are liable for any loss that results from relying on this site. Nothing here limits liability that can’t be limited by law.
