Bridge Store vs. Other E-commerce Software

Why Choose Bridge Store?

Quickly Increase the Number of Products Offered

Number of Products Offered
Bridge helps businesses quickly offer lots of products online. Retailers can more easily add products using Bridge’s software than other software. In addition, Bridge's Product Syncing service helps a retailer instantly display thousands of products by ‘friending’ brands. This service saves retailers months of time and thousands of dollars in costs.

Build a Successful Gift Registry Business

Number of Registries a Business Will Attract
Bridge is the leader in providing gift registry software to indie stores. Bridge is the only e-commerce platform with built-in gift registry software. Other platforms require that a business install a third-party app. Having two separate services grapple with registries often produces less than desirable results. With Bridge, the e-commerce software and gift registry software are seamless.
