Assets Included in the Sale
This listing is for a SaaS and subscription business created in September 2015 in the business niche. Four of the Shopify subscription service apps exist to enhance merchants gift carding experience whilst the remaining two apps enhance the store page editing experience. The apps were built using PHP Laravel and the Shopify App store and partner platform is used to manage app listings. The business includes a centrally located admin portal from which the apps and merchant installs can be managed in one place, keeping the Sellers time maintaining the business to a minimum.
