Beetailer Helps Online Retailers Set Up Shop On Facebook

Beetailer’s software connects with existing e-commerce platform, such as Magento and Shopify, and will import and sync online catalogs including, prices, images, sizes, colors and even whether products are in stock. The online storefront will populate on the retailer’s Facebook page and will essentially allow Facebook users to browse and add products to a shopping cart within the social network.

promotion. Beetailer’s data will include traffic, demographic data, most visited products, most visited categories, number of checkout and more.
