Lately, it seems that everyone’s most productive activity is shopping. Perhaps it’s an activity that no one can disagree with simply because it gives that therapeutic comfort of well-earned money spent, thrilling anticipation for packages of online purchases, or a convenient excuse to catch up on what’s new in fashion with good friends.

Shoppr is a new Malaysia-made mobile shopping experience that will be launched in the near future. While you usually browse your favourite online shopping sites one-by-one on your mobile phone or tablets’ web browser app, this app will simplify your browsing experience with just one application.

A Story Of Shopping In-Convenience To An App Idea
It all started with a group of three friends, who first met in 2010 when they were in college. After graduation, they did not keep in touch until 2013. According to Sylvia, Chief Marketer at Shoppr, they were all doing their own things by then.
“Ken was doing development projects, Nik was building his design themed apps and I was up in her eyes reading and experimenting on behavior economics and social psychology”, Sylvia told Vulcan Post. But while all three have lived overseas, and they used their experience to “bring some of what (they) learnt to Malaysia”.
Then, about a year ago, they turn to their mobile phones to do some clothes shopping. When browsing the sites they wanted to buy from, they realised that they had to key in their details and credit card information every time they entered a different site. It became an inconvenient and tedious process. While some brands try to connect better with the customer by creating they’re own mobile application that stores payment info for future purchases, it still meant that mobile shoppers had to download a few hundred mobile apps on their phone.
The three friends set out to talk to brands and users to see what people wanted when they do their shopping on-the-go. The answer was simple: people are being bombarded with so much information, and it was a time to step back and decluster everything. No more squinting your eyes to key in your details into this one site, no more typos or little annoyances that stands between you and your purchase. They found out a way to make shopping from any brand and making a payment through a one-step checkout possible.
