eCommerce, Meet Social Media
ShopIgniter: an open source eCommerce platform that integrates real-time social media components to re-create the brick-and-mortar shopping experience online.
Engage your Customers.
Use innovative, real-time customer engagement tools to offer unobtrusive help to your users while increasing sales and customer loyalty. Offer discounts and coupons or up-sell and cross-sell items through an easy-to-use chat interface. Push customers to informational or product pages, add items to your customers cart for review, and help them every step of the way through checkout.
Catch social butterflies.
Use Twitter to actively find customers with product or brand alerts. Follow, message and tweet back offers and links to your merchandise. Offer your customers the ability to engage their Facebook network with specialized coupons based on their purchase. Post specials, offers and more to your Facebook page through the our administration interface*.
Sell to Everyone.
Sell to retail, wholesale, distributers, VIP's and more - complete with alternative information, descriptions and prices using the same, single administration. Add additional domains with their own design and styles to market products independently of the store, do a/b/c testing on prices and descriptions or test advertising and keyword campaigns.
Run the show, mind the store.
Use our built in content management to host your own informational pages, blogs and forms together with your eCommerce store for a complete web site solution. For advanced use, add any content management solution, including WordPress or ExpressionEngine, for an enterprise level web presence.
Features for the real world.
Add an unlimited number of product options, from size and color to any combination, and sell anything from truck parts to diamonds. Create searchable attributes per category that allow your users to find exactly what they are looking for with ease. Administer your products like physical inventory, with no arbitrary rules and guidelines.
Play well with others.
Use our full RESTful API to integrate your store to any compatible CRM, point of sale or inventory management system. Build a custom solution for your users with an entirely open source code-base, the revolutionary CodeIgniter framework, with full access to all store data directly in the templates. Use native PHP and jQuery to delivery cutting edge solutions to your customers or clients.
Chose your comfort level.
Easily integrate ShopIgniter into your current site using standards-based LAMP infrastructure, or within another CodeIgniter-based application. Don't want to worry about security or lack the IT staff required to run a full eCommerce platform? Pick the software-as-a-service plan that fits your business and budget and then let us take care of everything, including your SSL certificate.
Scale beyond the rest.
ShopIgniter is the fastest, most scalable solution in its class to sell items online, period. Comparatively, ShopIgniter can deliver 50 times more requests per second that the next comparable platform: Varien's Magento. Based on the latest technologies and frameworks, ShopIgniter can help you scale your business without exponentially increasing your budget.
