Description

The platform allows customers to conduct purchases at e-commerce sites at a full or discounted price and in exchange for a discounted price they wait to see if their discount is granted, enabling merchants to be in control and offer shoppers discounts without harming full-price sales. Purple Dot integrates directly with existing eComm systems and powers a high-converting pre-order UX for customers that holds these orders outside downstream systems until stock arrives, eliminating warehouse meltdowns.
