HalfCute vs Shopswired

AirBnB for gifts & celebrations

HalfCute is an online gift marketplace for the people who want to celebrate special occasions by gifting or planning a party. We started our journey as an online cake delivery portal called CakeZone to solve the convenience problem faced by customers while ordering a cake for their special occasions. After scaling in the segment for many years with a core emphasis on customer delight, we are now enabling vendors in the gifting segment to scale their business, to increase brand awareness by creating a marketplace with the appetite to deliver quality products on demand for special occasions.

I am Lea Marie Milay, Web Application Marketing Specialist from Shopswired and I am submitting a startup pitch for our recently launched web application - Shopswired. 

Shopswired is an e-commerce platform made for startup local businesses looking to have their store front, shopping cart and checkout system with no upfront costs. It is an ideal solution for those who want to sell products online but deliver locally.

Among its features are the simple and standard storefront that showcases a shop's products, a hassle free checkout system and an order management where the customer and shop owner can easily communicate via a messaging feature integrated with orders.

Shopswired allows local business owners to limit delivery areas within a distance from their business address to make sure they can deliver high quality products. Together with the risk management feature built into the system, this ensures that business owners operate on a level comfortable to them.

Shopswired protects consumers by providing transparent information about shops and allowing an easy order cancellation and refund process between the business owner and the consumers.

Ultimately, Shopswired aspires to be the standard platform  where consumers will instantly get assurance while shopping local.
