Integrating Snapchat With Shopify

Snapchat has made it open for any brand to set up shoppable catalogues and AR filters, allowing customers to browse and purchase items in the app.

Companies are able to make a business profile (Public Profiles for Businesses) which acts as a hub for product discovery.

Once this is done, they can deploy the Snap Pixel and start targeting new and existing customers.

Not only are they fun to use, but they give customers insight as to how your products will work for them.
