WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2015 / Yappn Corp. (OTC: YPPN), a leader in real-time language technology and translation, recently announced that its Windrose Global Ecommerce Platform is now available on Shopify Inc.'s (NASDAQ: SHOP) app store. The company's WGE application is a Microsoft Azure cloud-based platform that provides instant and accurate translations without needing to setup multiple Shopify(R) storefronts, making marketing, sales and support seamless and easy.
"We are excited to deliver our Shopify(R) app ahead of schedule," said Yappn Corp. Founder and CEO David Lucatch. "Starting at $14.95 per month for one language, with other language packs available, Windrose is an easy and cost efficient way to reach your target markets in their native language. As a simple cloud app, Windrose offers vendors the ability to build once and deploy their active online stores in up to 67 languages through a single store application that adds language(s), and not work, keeping and maintaining only one store, one inventory and one check-out. Now vendors will be able to market, sell and service from their native language to their client's native language without the need to add a team to support the additional languages with a simple, easily installed, Shopify(R) app."
The launch on Shopify(R) is significant given the e-commerce company's significant reach, with over 160,000 stores generating more than $1,000 per year in income. With the U.S. only representing about 69% of its revenue, the company has a growing international presence that could create a substantial need for language translation services for its customers. Shopify® reported revenues of over $100 million in 2014 and is on track for significant growth in 2015.
In addition to Shopify(R), the company plans to launch its service on additional e-commerce platforms moving into the future, including open source platforms like Magento. Investors in e-commerce companies, like Geeknet Inc. (NASDAQ: GKNT) or PFSweb Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW), may want to take a closer look at the stock given the move onto Shopify(R) and the potential to expand its presence onto other e-commerce platforms to help make stores truly global.
Shares of Yappn Corp. were unchanged in early trading on Thursday, June 11, 2015.
