Our take
Shopping habits are increasingly moving towards mobile. However, the process of buying on mobile remains riddled with problems and poor user interfaces that slow down purchase time and therefore reduce revenue for companies that rely on these channels.
Button is trying to make mobile eCommerce easier for customers and businesses. They provide seamless integrations of links or "buttons" within other third party partner's apps, allowing mobile customers to buy when their interest is highest. This provides brands with an alternative to pushing users to their eCommerce websites through channels such as Facebook or Google (as customers can make purchases directly in other apps).
The company has now driven $6 billion in eCommerce, delivering an average 3x revenue increase in app journeys vs mobile web - both of which showcase the impact it has made in the market. Button continues to expand its network and enhance the platform towards making mobile eCommerce work better for brands.
