Shopify (SHOP) announced the launch of Shopify Ping, a free mobile app that brings business conversations and tasks all within one interface. With Shopify Ping, merchants will be able to manage their tasks through messaging on their mobile phones, spend more time serving their customers and grow their businesses. Shopify Ping is a free iOS app available to Shopify merchants in the App Store. It consolidates messages from other apps used to interact with customers through social media, a merchant's online storefront, email and more in one single interface. In addition, it comes built-in with Shopify's free virtual assistant, Kit, which helps merchants plan, create and manage marketing activities through a conversational interface. With these integrations, Shopify Ping will support actions like running Facebook (FB) and Instagram ads, email campaigns and retargeting campaigns, as well as customer conversations.
