Social media is everywhere and that isn’t going to change. Our digital lives are becoming more integrated with our offline lives and I believe the next phase of this combination is e-commerce.

Some people have been slow to accept internet banking and other forms of online financial transactions. However, with companies like Square processing payments on smartphones combined with a generation of people who’ve grown up with online banking, it’s clear that the next step is seamless integration between shopping and social media.

Chirpify, the only in-stream social commerce platform, is a forward thinking company making e-commerce simpler than ever.

See something you like on a Facebook page? How about Instagram? With Chirpify, you can buy, sell or pay for items with a single comment on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

Chirpify isn’t just for selling. You can also fundraise, run contests and giveaways, set up promotions and offer coupons to increase your engagement.

Those are powerful numbers and brands should take note. Personally, I think Chirpify is one of the most innovative startups out there. Their product fills a real gap between social media and sales and should be able to convince even the most jaded business owner that social media is worth their time.
