Looking Back At 2024

To know where you’re going, you need to know where you’ve been—and 2024 has been an incredible journey! This year, we put our focus on Shopify like never before, creating innovative solutions and delivering impactful results for ecommerce retailers.

Our team worked hard to develop and launch our own Shopify apps, designed to empower Shopify retailers with tools that enhance their operations and drive success. We also doubled down on Shopify POS, helping businesses integrate seamless in-store and online shopping experiences.

One of our proudest achievements this year was ramping up our Shopify webinars, hosting them every month. These sessions allowed us to connect with retailers, share our expertise, and showcase how to thrive in the ecommerce space. Through these initiatives, we pushed forward with meaningful, effective solutions for both ecommerce and retail businesses.

As we close out 2024, we want to celebrate the milestones, innovations, and partnerships that made this year so impactful. None of it would have been possible without our amazing team, partners, and clients. Your trust and collaboration inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries of ecommerce technology.

New Shopify POS Apps

This year, we took our commitment to empowering Shopify retailers to the next level by developing and launching three custom Shopify apps: PriceTapper, SelectMerch, and CartFields. Each app was designed with one goal in mind—to help merchants streamline their operations, optimize their stores, and drive more sales with ease.

CartFields for POS

CartFields lets you enter custom data during point of sale checkout. Add fields to the cart or products, including required values. Staff members can collect this information during POS checkout. The entered values appear on the invoice. Use the data to extend the order actions within the admin or with ERP and CRM system.

Price Tapper POS

With Price Tapper, you can add custom sale items by tapping on a predefined list of items. You can quickly add a custom price and note for each product. This takes the Custom Sale tile to the next level. You can even provide default prices and tax settings to make the process of adding custom items even faster!

SelectMerch

SelectMerch helps retailers track the performance of their in-store displays by monitoring sales data based on product placement. By providing actionable insights, this app empowers merchants to optimize their layouts and maximize sales for every square foot of their stores.

See you in 2025
