MonkeyData brings you news from the eCommerce world!
Whether or not you have your own online store, you are probably familiar with the most popular eCommerce platform — Shopify. They organized their first Partner and Developer Conference on March 22–23 and we are proud to say we were there too! Today, we are proud to provide and develop the best analytics for Shopify users.
It really was amazing to meet and talk to people who have similar business intentions as us. We had a bunch of inspiring interviews, some of which we are going to share with you in future blog posts. Watch the videos with Rytis Lauris (Soundest), Mike Potter (Rewind), Steve Deckert (SweetTooth) and Brian Kelly (Kissmetrics) to learn tips and tricks from professionals about how to boost your online store!
This is just a short recap from our CEO attending the Shopify Unite 2 day conference. I want to share this priceless experience with you because it was really something. So, buckle up!
“On the first day we were introduced to new APIs that open up a world of possibilities for Shopify app developers, and also to SDKs Shopify launched, which help a lot with multiple sales and enable eCommerce literally everywhere. The SDKs integrate a Shopify store with other big platforms (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Amazon), so it helps to sell more than ever because sellers can use the rich potential of these platforms.”
“Mobile devices are all around us so it’s no wonder mCommerce is becoming the dark horse of eCommerce.”
Boost your online store by adding the “buy” button
One of the SDKs allows sellers to create a buy button and put it practically anywhere (to blog posts, websites, etc.). This not only makes it easier for customers to purchase but also allows business owners to create a small online store in just a few minutes!
Next big thing Shopify announced is an SDK which helps sellers to create iOS and Android mobile apps much easier, in order to transform “window-shoppers” into “real customers”.
“The conference was so absorbing and enriching. Shopify makes commerce better for everyone, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the amazing creations that come from these new features,” Jan mentions in the interview.
Word of advice? Use multiple-sales channels and be mobile!
