Our take
Building innovative commerce applications has historically required building unique integrations into multiple eCommerce platforms. This can be a costly and inaccessible process for many sellers, who typically have little development expertise. Violet's universal API allows sellers to seamlessly integrate applications with multiple merchant platforms.
Violet's API enables applications to connect directly to a brand or retailer's backend system, meaning each in-app purchase is no different than a purchase directly on a merchant’s website. It integrates with all leading eCommerce platforms, including Shopify and Magento, and supports synced product data and dynamic checkout, allowing for an optimal customer experience.
Back in 2021, Violet raised $10 million in Series A funding, with big-name fintech company Klarna leading the investment. It has put this funding to use with the further development of its technology, while simultaneously scaling its customer base.
