Shopify adds ‘buy now’ button for Twitter users

Twitter users soon will be able to shop with a new “Buy Now” button from the e-commerce company Shopify.

Shopify says it is starting a partnership with Twitter that will allow U.S.-based businesses to sell products directly on the social media website. Any product tweeted from a merchant’s store will include the buy button that allows customers to make a purchase within their Twitter timeline.

Canada-based Shopify has introduced similar buttons for Pinterest and Facebook.
