About ShopIgniter
The goal of ShopIgniter is to bring human interaction to eCommerce with social media tools, bridging the offline and online shopping experience.
How did ShopIgniter come to light?
ShopIgniter, in its previous life, was called Cularis Store. Store was a proprietary, closed source system geared towards boutiques and was a great success. Over the course of almost two years, it became apparent that it could be improved upon, opened up, and used by a much larger customer set than originally intended. Over the last year, we built the next evolution of our eCommerce platform on our framework of choice, CodeIgniter. This next version needed to do something that no other eCommerce system on the planet could do – bridge the gap between the offline and online sales processes and integrate the social web. Our simple mission was to become one of the easiest to use, social eCommerce systems available.

Where is ShopIgniter Going?
Good question. We consider ShopIgniter a platform, one that will allow us to release cutting edge features, services and future applications as well as enable the developer community to extend and innovate. We have a solid two year roadmap in place that covers the gamut of retail and eCommerce, with some exciting and revolutionary product ideas and partnership opportunities. Stay tuned.
