Era or Shopify?

Short answerSelling abroad with a huge app store: Shopify. Bookings, quotes and WhatsApp next to the shop: Era — and the two work together.

Shopify is one of the most widely used e-commerce platforms, with a huge theme and app ecosystem. In Era the shop sits with bookings, customer cards, invoices, inbox and an AI team, set up for Turkey.

This job has its own screen in Era, in the same workspace as customer cards, the calendar, the inbox and the AI. The screen below is Era itself, with sample data.
