Shopify merchants can now enable buy buttons on Facebook, Pinterest
and Twitter
Shopify
Inc. (“Shopify”) (NYSE:SHOP, TSX:SH), a leading cloud-based,
multichannel commerce platform, today launched a partnership with
Twitter to allow Shopify merchants to sell products directly on Twitter.
Twitter’s “Buy Now” buttons will be available to U.S.-based Shopify
merchants, at no additional cost, making it easier for them to get their
products into their followers' hands.
“Many of our 175,000+ merchants already use Twitter to engage with their
audience and now they can sell directly to them in real-time,” said
Satish Kanwar, Director of Product, Shopify. “Today’s partnership means
Shopify merchants are now among the first to use buy buttons on
Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.”
Shopify merchants can start selling their products on Twitter by adding
the Twitter sales channel so that any product tweeted from a merchant’s
store will automatically include a buy button. Shoppers can buy products
directly within their timeline on desktop, iPhone and Android. All
Twitter orders, as well as product and customer details, will
automatically be synchronized with Shopify.

button. In June, Shopify announced that its merchants can sell on
Pinterest using Buyable Pins. For more information, visit: press.shopify.com/releases.
