OpenStore is on a mission to inspire entrepreneurs and shoppers to find something new. We give entrepreneurs the simplest way to sell their e-commerce businesses and receive liquidity. We’ve paid millions of dollars to entrepreneurs all over the country, freeing them up to start new companies, spend time with family, or take a well-deserved break. We manage the largest number of Shopify brands with over 100,000 products across apparel, beauty, home goods, and electronics. Our team of e-commerce experts and engineers uses our proprietary technology and tooling, and advantages from our size, to grow our brands and reach more customers. Two million people have purchased OpenStore products, and soon, we’ll launch a consumer shopping app, helping people discover products in an all-new way.
