Shopify Enters Web3 🛍️

Powering Web3 Commerce with Shopify 🛍️ 

We’re excited to partner with Shopify to launch thirdweb’s CommerceKit: an all-in-one platform for developers to build web3 commerce apps & bring powerful blockchain-enabled tools to Shopify stores!

Web3 is unlocking new ways for merchants to engage with customers, create immersive shopping experiences, and build brand loyalty — but integrating it into web2 platforms is messy & difficult.

Enter CommerceKit: combining thirdweb’s smart contract framework with Shopify’s eCommerce platform to provide better web3 tools for the Shopify ecosystem. Using CommerceKit, developers can:

• Save time & build web3 Shopify apps more easily

• Abstract the blockchain complexity away from merchants & consumers

• Onboard the masses onto web3 commerce

These tools will unlock web3 apps with powerful new ways for merchants to engage with consumers, like:

• Selling digital collectibles on Shopify stores to build brand affinity

• Granting exclusive “token-gated” access & rewards to loyal customers (and owners of a specific NFT)

• Running personalized marketing campaigns by merging customers’ physical purchase data with on-chain activity

Start building web3 commerce apps & learn more about what thirdweb’s CommerceKit has to offer (it’s free):
