The awards and Showcase for ecommerce.

A worldwide Showcase of the best online stores, curated by editors, and a judged annual awards programme for ecommerce brands and the agencies that build them. Open worldwide.

Audience

  • Ecommerce brands: founders, ecommerce managers and marketing leads.
  • Agencies and freelancers who design, build and grow online stores.
  • Anyone looking for store inspiration, features, apps and agencies.

Worldwide. We’re new, so we don’t publish audience numbers yet.

The Showcase

  • Editor picks are free. Members can also submit work for a small review fee; the fee never buys a place.
  • Owners can claim their store or agency page.
  • Featured stores get an embeddable “Featured” badge. Featured isn’t the same as winning an award.

The awards

10 categories for brands, agencies and joint entries. Online-first in 2027. Every entry is read by two judges and gets written feedback.

Best Checkout · Brand of the Year · Best Customer Experience · Best Retention and Loyalty · Best New Store · Agency of the Year · Best Store Build · Best Replatform or Migration · Best Conversion Improvement · Agency × Brand of the Year

Scored on results 40%, craft 30%, strategy 20%, evidence 10%.

Sponsors never buy outcomes
  • Partners never judge, and never see scores before results.
  • Partners can’t buy a shortlist place, a win or a Showcase feature.
  • A category partner names a category. It doesn’t choose the shortlist or the winner.
  • No fees to be shortlisted, to win, or to use the winner logo.
