Wishpot Launches Social Commerce, a Revolutionary Platform for Retailers and Publishers

(I-Newswire) November 17, 2009 - Seattle, WA- November 17, 2009 – Online social shopping pioneer Wishpot.com is proud to introduce Wishpot Social Commerce, a revolutionary platform allowing retailers and publishers to integrate all of the award-winning Wishpot features directly into their websites. Wishpot can now power individual retailers’ registries and wish lists, allowing retailers to benefit from Wishpot features such as price alerts, expert badges, newsfeed, and the multiple contribution function. Through this new platform, retailers can also create social channels allowing them to easily feature recommendations from experts and customers.

RightStart.com, a recently re-launched online baby store, is one of the early adopters of this new platform. RightStart chose Wishpot because, “It provides a very advanced registry and wish list solution, with the social experience that our customers are asking for,” according to Mike Wagner, CEO of RightStart.com.

With the Wishpot Social Commerce platform, retailers control both the functionalities and branding for their stores and/or registries. Thus, users get Wishpot features combined with customized retailer branding. The software is delivered as a hosted service and requires little integration to get started.
