Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP)(TSX:SH), the leading cloud-based, multi-channel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced an integration with the new Messenger Platform that allows merchants to provide live customer support, automatically send order confirmations, shipping updates, push notifications, and more, all within Facebook Messenger. This new integration will make it easier for merchants in the U.S. to build stronger, one-on-one relationships with their customers.
