"Snapette was first launched as a way for consumers to discover nearby fashion finds and drive them into local stores," says Jeff Goldstein, president of PriceGrabber®, which acquired Snapette earlier this year. "With the addition of in-app purchase, we are now enabling users to be able to purchase products from many of our retailer partners, making product discovery truly actionable." Snapette co-founder Jinhee Ahn Kim adds, "We have received overwhelming feedback over the past year that our users would love to purchase products from stores not just nearby their current location, but also from our partner retailers around the country and the world. Our retailers also wanted to be able to sell directly through the app."
With an easy-to-use interface and international shipping, Snapette will now allow users to seamlessly make purchases directly from the Snapette mobile app. Snapette is integrated with Braintree®, FedEx® and DHL® to enable its users to securely check out through the app and have products delivered to them anywhere around the world.
