ChannelAdvisor same-store sales (SSS) increased 17% in February, an acceleration over January’s 12%<\/a>.  In addition, the company said March SSS should come in slightly better than February. <\/p>\n

Overall, this means ChannelAdvisor’s Q110 results are pacing just ahead of Q409 growth. <\/p>\n

Another company that helps retailers sell their products online, Mercent, said its Q110 was on pace to grow about 35% – a slight improvement over Q409 growth of 32%.<\/p>\n
