“We are very excited to launch our referral marketing app to the large and growing Shopify merchant base,” stated Rob Goehring, Chief Executive Officer of RewardStream. “Shopify’s growth has been unprecedented amongst E-commerce platform providers, and has the most active app ecosystem, with more than 80% of merchants relying on apps to extend the functionality of their store. With the E-commerce market forecasted to reach $523 billion by 20201, we are positioning RewardStream to lead the market as more shoppers buy online.”

Utilizing the RewardStream cloud hosting infrastructure, the platform easily handles any merchant’s day to day needs and can automatically scale to handle unanticipated bursts in volume that can come from promotions such as flash sales.

“We bring a new level of ease and sophistication to referral marketing for Shopify merchants,” said Neil Parker, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing. “With our strong enterprise roots, we have been able to take a world-class product and scale it for any sized merchant while maintaining power and flexibility in campaign setup and management, rewards and promotions, analytics, scalability, security and more.
