Baker
Launches 'Shop', the Cannabis Industry's First White Labeled E-Commerce
Platform, Equipping Dispensaries with Advanced Tools They Can Rely on for
Growth
Shop, 'the Shopify for Cannabis,'
Provides Dispensaries with Secure, Branded, Conversion-Oriented E-commerce
Sites for Pickup and Delivery
DENVER, COLO. - April 17, 2017
(Investorideas.com Newswire) Baker - the leading marketing automation platform
for marijuana dispensaries and brands - today announced the launch of Shop, the
most advanced cannabis-specific e-commerce platform in North America. Shop
brings dispensaries and brands the online commerce capabilities that every
other industry has come to rely upon. Shop, "the Shopify for
Cannabis", provides dispensaries with a secure, branded, conversion-oriented
e-commerce platform for pickup, delivery and shipping.
"As cannabis retail joins the
21st century, shoppers expect the same levels of personalization and
convenience they've come to expect from all retail stores - and that starts
online,"said David Champion, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer for
Baker. "There hasn't been a solution like Shopify, which allows retailers
to easily create quality e-commerce sites that allow their customers to browse,
confirm availability, and order ahead with confidence. This has forced many of
them to settle for e-commerce solutions that aren't tailored to the intricacies
of the industry, such as pricing by weight, medical ID verification, POS
integration, and state ordering & tax limitations. With Shop, we're
changing that. We're optimizing the whole marketplace for both dispensaries and
their customers."
Features offered on the Shop platform
include:
- Product Notifications:
Message your customers when their favorite products are back in stock
- Quick Checkout: Get
customers to buy faster with our 'Buy Now' button
- Digital Loyalty: Keep your
shoppers coming back with points and rewards
- Multiple Fulfillment
Options: Offer 21st century convenience with in-store pickup delivery, or
shipping where state regulations allow
- Advanced Product Filters:
Make finding products easy with filters by category, weight, data and more
- Compliant Nationwide: Stay
compliant without lifting a finger, our team of experts has your back
Shop, which turns any dispensary's
website into an e-commerce destination with one line of code, is already
showing results. More than 100 retailers, across the country, are live on the
platform and are seeing sales increase by as much as $115,000 per month.
Baker, which announced last month
that it secured $1.6 million in funding (raising its total capital raised to
$3.5 million), works with over 250 dispensaries across Arizona, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Oregon,
Washington, and Ontario. The Baker platform leverages these retailers' brands
