Market America completes the heavy lifting of integrating Shop.com

Market America will roll out an integrated e-commerce system Sept. 26.

Six months after completing its acquisition of Shop.com for an undisclosed sum, Market America is now wrapping up phase one of a two-part technology integration project.

 

On Sept. 26, Market America, No. 61 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, will unveil an integrated e-commerce system that gives its 3.6 million customers faster and easier ways to shop on Shop.com, a shopping comparison site. "When the platform goes live, all of our Market America shoppers will be able to shop both MarketAmerica.com and Shop.com with better navigation, an enhanced shopping cart and other features," says chief operating officer Marc Ashley.

 

When the system launches, MarketAmerica.com and Shop.com customers will have access to more than 30 million products, faster product searches, an enhanced shopping cart that lets them purchase merchandise from participating retailers directly on the Shop.com marketplace and more content such as buyer guides and other tools. Market America shoppers also will be able to use their customer loyalty perks to make purchases on Shop.com, including the "Paid to Shop" program that awards customers 2% to 50% back on all purchases made on MarketAmerica.com and its sister sites, the company says.

Keep Growing,
