Here are our top 5 things to know so far: 

  1. Pinterest announced it's new app "Shuffles" which provides a new way to shop by creating collage boards - check out this write up on Tech Crunch.  

    Also, Pinterest has made it their mission to bring positivity back to social media. CEO Bill Ready stated, “I don’t think social media set out to be the new big tobacco,”  and really put an emphasis that they are making it a point to set an example for positive well-being. 

  2. Need a way to combat returns? Verishop offers a "no return" discount to shoppers during the checkout process, and 20% of the transactions are utilizing it, minimizing the costs that are associated with returns and access inventory. 

  3. Shoppable Commerce is all about testing, learning and iterating - then repeat.
