With Verizon’s acquisition of Yahoo a few months back and our continued investment in small business, we’ve been working to focus on improving our core products and aligning ourselves even more closely with our small business customers.
One of the key changes we knew was important to make during this transition was changing our branding back to a name that our customers have grown to recognize and trust – Yahoo Small Business. We have served the small business community for over 20 years and have always valued your requests and feedback. Bringing back the Yahoo Small Business brand was one of those requests.
No action is required of you during this change, as only our branding will be changing. The legal entity is still named Aabaco Small Business, LLC. Nothing is changing in your business relationship with us, we are simply changing our brand name and logo. You’ll notice our brand and logo updated to Yahoo Small Business over the coming days across our websites, social media channels, emails, and more. But if you receive billing, subscription, or other messages from Yahoo Small Business, know that you are still dealing with the same company.
Our customers are our top priority and we remain committed to your success. We look forward to continuing to serve you and provide the best possible experience for our customers. Please check this blog for further updates on new product enhancements, tips from our small business experts and more
Today, we’re releasing an update to the eCommerce platform Order Manager, the interface that sellers use to manage their online stores, that makes it simpler for sellers to review new sales, stay abreast of shipping and fulfillment, and review data to find additional opportunities. On top of that, the Order Manager is now mobile ready – so store owners can check in on their sales from their mobile phones while on the go.
New features added to Order Manager include:
The Order Manager update has been rolled out to all eCommerce customers. This release is part of several updates being made to the platform, which has supported more than $70 billion in sales for online retailers.
It just got easier and more fun to design a beautiful website with Yahoo Small Business Website Builder.
We’ve added an “undo” function so you can now quickly undo any number of changes you’ve made in the current browser window while designing your site. This makes it more fun to experiment with adding or replacing elements within the provided templates, and if you don’t like the result, simply click on “Show History” and you can undo and restore your previous design.
Design changes that can be easily undone include:
Providing more than 150+ templates, a mobile-optimized website, unlimited site pages and bandwidth, built-in SEO, 24/7 phone, chat and online support, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, Website Builder is a powerful, yet simple tool for creating a professional website for your business.

Over more than 20 years of helping small businesses launch, grow and manage successful eCommerce stores, Yahoo Small Business has learned and defined the steps and techniques that are most likely to help new business quickly attract new customers, increase conversions and scale their growth. That expertise is now on tap for merchants who sign up for Yahoo’s newly launched Merchant Solutions Enterprise plan.
Leveraging this expertise can help established retailers who are adapting an existing brick-and-mortar business into the eCommerce space, as well as those wishing to expand from selling exclusively on marketplaces or replatform from their existing eCommerce providers. Merchant Solutions Enterprise jumpstarts smaller online retailers with a level of advice and expertise that Yahoo has provided larger small businesses with decades of experience.
To fulfill the needs of all customers, Yahoo Small Business has formed the Enterprise support team with Launch Managers and Success Managers who work with individual merchants to get their store launched and ensure they always have a guided path for continued growth.
Yahoo’s tenured team of Launch Managers, Success Managers, and support members are committed to working through individual issues through resolution to ensure that the merchant’s transition to Merchant Enterprise is as smooth as possible.
Launch Managers support launch needs and serve as a point of contact for platform migration, developer coordination, and launch timeline.
Success Managers are platform and eCommerce experts who help the customer connect to any resources they need going forward and plot measurable objectives for adapting to the constantly changing ecommerce landscape.
24/7 priority support provides a direct line to priority support agents who will help resolves the issue from beginning to end, with no transfer required.
The Enterprise team is dedicated to removing barriers between the customer’s existing retail business and a bright future transitioning to or growing within the online space. Here’s some of the value Yahoo Small Business merchants can tap into:
Developer-friendly ecosystem - Yahoo works closely with their Developer Network partners to make integration and customization a simple, smooth process. Yahoo Success Managers identify the needs of your unique business and work directly with partners who fit your budget.
Commerce Central - Apps available through Commerce Central add additional value. For example, with the free Facebook Messenger app, you can provide 1-to-1 customer chat support from your store, entirely free. Unlike many competing eCommerce platforms, Yahoo Small Business doesn’t lock core platform features like order management and checkout configuration behind apps with additional cost.
Scalable, time-tested platform - The solid store platform has a 99.9% uptime for stores from 100 to 1,000,000+ customers per day. Whether it’s Christmas or Black Friday, you’ll be covered.
APIs for your catalog, orders, and more - The Merchant Solutions APIs leverage your existing software to connect directly to the platform to allow advanced customization to processes like fulfilling orders, processing payments, updating your catalog, and providing real-time shipping rates.
Enterprise Launch Managers can provide advice, resources, training, and integration assistance throughout the setup process.
When the store has successfully launched and has been thoroughly tested, Merchant Solutions Enterprise merchants have access to 24/7 priority support trained to handle issues as a single point of contact. All Enterprise merchants have a dedicated Success Manager throughout the life of their account to help them navigate industry changes and take the right steps to grow their revenue.
Success Managers are tenured, experienced account managers who have worked to grow merchants from 0 to more than $80 million over our 20+ year history supporting valuable merchants. Yahoo Small Business has seen industry challenges change over the last 20 years from a focus on auctions and small comparison sites to powerhouses like Amazon and big-box competition.
When Yahoo merchants have a question, concern, or opportunity, they have a single point of contact. Their Success Manager knows their goals and expectations without the need to repeat it every time they call.
