At Shopy Inc., we’re “Building the Future of Social E-commerce” by empowering businesses and entrepreneurs to connect with their customers more effectively through cutting-edge social commerce tools. Our focus is on streamlining interactions, automating processes, and maximizing sales through a customer-first approach.
We build products that help businesses thrive in the digital and social commerce space by enabling:
Shopy provides a seamless social commerce platform designed to empower small and medium-sized businesses by enabling them to sell directly through popular social media channels like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. With an intuitive, mobile-first interface, Shopy allows business owners to manage their online stores, track inventory, engage customers, and accept payments from a single app. The platform removes the complexities of digital selling by automating routine tasks, supporting multi-channel communication, and integrating payment solutions that cater to local markets (e.g., MTN and Airtel Mobile Money).
Shopy is tailored to cater to:
Shopy differentiates itself by being both highly intuitive and tailored for a social commerce-first approach. Key points of differentiation include:
Built-in Social Media and Messaging Integration: Shopy directly integrates with WhatsApp Business, Instagram, and Facebook, allowing users to engage with customers seamlessly without needing to redirect to external websites. The unique feature of managing and updating product listings directly from a WhatsApp Business number offers ease of access, especially for business owners who are used to interacting with clients via messaging apps.
Automated Product Extraction and Store Setup: Shopy can automatically populate store information, like product details and images, from users’ existing WhatsApp Business profiles. This feature simplifies the onboarding process and significantly reduces the time required to set up a digital store.
Support for Local Payment Methods: Integration with mobile payment solutions like MTN and Airtel Mobile Money makes Shopy accessible to sellers and buyers in regions where mobile payments are more common than credit cards or other online payment solutions.
Humanized, AI-Powered Customer Support: Shopy’s AI-driven chat feature can provide customer support that feels personal and conversational, while automatically addressing common inquiries. It can also intelligently prioritize or follow up with potential leads, reducing response time and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Unique Selling Formats: Shopy enables the sale of digital products, with payment-gated access to downloadable content such as photos, videos, and e-books. This feature is particularly relevant for sellers of digital media and brings added flexibility in the types of products users can offer.
Enhanced Product Display with 3D Previews and Photo Optimization: For users looking to sell physical products, Shopy offers built-in camera technology for taking optimized product photos, including 3D imagery for a richer shopping experience.
Multi-platform Posting and Analytics: Shopy provides tools for posting product updates across multiple social platforms simultaneously, with integrated analytics to track engagement and conversions. This feature makes it easier for sellers to manage their marketing efforts without having to duplicate posts across platforms manually.
By focusing on these areas, Shopy aims to provide a differentiated, value-driven product that not only meets the functional needs of social sellers but also enables them to provide an exceptional, personalized experience for their customers.
