Infibeam‘s SaaS-based DIY e-commerce platform for retailers, BuildaBazaar has launched a third party apps store for its traders, reports Business Standard.
The app store will offer merchants a one-stop solution for multiple classified application categories, like feedback, payment gateway solution, surveys, launch and campaign, analytics, reports, customer engagement and selling.
The apps will enable BuildaBazaar merchants to use new tools and features, to improve customer experiences, without having to invest in independent application development. Developers can utilise the platform to publish their apps, which can work seamlessly with BuildaBazaar. Developers can submit their apps here or write to apps@buildabazaar.com.
Some of the apps on the store are ViralSweep (which claims to help grow fans and increase sales with sweepstakes and giveaways), DirecPay (Integrated online payment gateway solution), Qualaroo (Behavior Insight Surveys), WebEngage (Customer Engagement), CCAvenue, Google Analytics, etc. At present there are 24 apps in total.
