However, the company reported volume of 7.54 million shares or dollar volume of around $171.84 million, exchanged hands during trading Tuesday.
Shares of ChannelAdvisor jumped after the company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by CommerceHub, a commerce networking provider. Under the terms of the agreement, CommerceHub will acquire all outstanding shares of ChannelAdvisor at a price per share of $23.10. This gives the transaction a total value of $663 million.

The combined entity will also help its customers save on delivery costs and improve logistics through its “Delivery Suite.”
