Flipkart on Thursday announced the launch of a new app called ‘Shopsy’ that allows people to become resellers of products on its network through platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook. This will allow an individual to start their online stores. These stores can be set up without any investment and can categorise 15 crore products offered by Flipkart sellers. Entrepreneurs can then use their social networks to make sales and earn a commission.
In a statement, the company said, “With the ability to influence their local network and meet their desires, Shopsy users can access the wide range of 150 million products offered by Flipkart sellers such as fashion, beauty, cell phones, electronics, and more. The list of categories will be shared with potential customers via popular social media and messaging apps.” They said users could register on the Shopsy app using their phone number and start their entrepreneurship journey online.
“This platform aims at providing new to digital commerce consumers access to products by simplifying the process through interactions with a trusted person. With Shopsy, Flipkart aims to enable over 25 million online entrepreneurs by 2023 as they gain the benefits of digital commerce,” it added.
