Newly launched AI modes and Agentic tools Push E-commerce into a new Era

New ecommerce tools are flooding the market as brands race to keep up with AI‑driven shopping, cross‑border demand, and new payment options. A fresh batch of launches spanning 3D visuals, duties and taxes, agentic commerce, social ads, returns data, and more shows how quickly the ecommerce stack is evolving end‑to‑end.

VisualScale.ai brings AI 3D visuals to Google Cloud Imagine.io’s VisualScale.ai is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, giving brands a way to turn a single product image or 3D model into realistic lifestyle visuals using AI prompts.

Merchants can start from a cutout, an existing scene, or an eligible 3D asset and refine the output with natural‑language instructions, while also uploading brand guidelines so content stays on‑brand.

This kind of tool aims to cut the cost and time of traditional photo shoots, especially for retailers that need high volumes of differentiated imagery across PDPs, social, ads, and marketplaces.

ShipStation simplifies duties and taxes for cross‑border Shipping platform ShipStation has introduced a guaranteed prepaid duties and taxes feature to help U.S. merchants ship internationally with fewer surprises.
