Introduction:


Logo Shopializable

The new version of our Facebook application is available. It allows you to sell your products to your store Magento or Prestashop on your Facebook profile. (Available languages: English, French, Spanish, German soon).

And all your friends can discover your products in a different setting from the usual store of e-commerce and also indicate the products they liked their knowledge ...

We wanted, in this new application, involving the visitor through the "I Love It". To increase the visibility of your shop and your products on your network. We believe it is important for an e-commerce site to stand out. Use social networks to get out of the usual paths referencing allows you to generate significant new traffic for your online store .

Finally we gave a name for this module in order to recognize it more easily. Shop and Socialize We seemed to be two relevant keywords to describe this application. So we named "Shopializable".
