Shopify: E-commerce & Web3

We also ventured into the realm of e-commerce, with a Web3 twist. Our mission to bring real-life value through blockchain and Web3 technologies took a giant leap forward as we set our sights on the world's leading e-commerce platform, Shopify.

Sharing context that peels back the layers of NFT-gated communities on Shopify seemed like a logical next step. This innovative concept is poised to reshape the e-commerce landscape by offering exclusive access to content and products through NFT ownership. Crowny is uniquely positioned to facilitate this transformative shift and add even more value to the e-commerce experience through our loyalty program software.
