Thursday 16 February 2012 14:55 CET | News

Chirpify, an online money exchange service, has rolled out its Twitter Commerce platform, which allows businesses and consumers to buy, sell, donate and exchange funds on Twitter, turning Tweets into transactions.

Previously known as Sell Simply, Chirpify enables direct or person-to-person (P2P) payments and donations in addition to its retail sales platform. As a result, retailers will be able to use Twitter as a direct sales channel.

In order to enable users monetise their tweets, Chirpify has integrated with PayPal. In addition, Chirpify provides integration with existing e-commerce storefronts, including Magento, for back-end fulfillment, listing and transaction management. To use Chirpify, merchants will only have to click the list on Twitter button when drafting an item listing for sale in their e-commerce dashboard. Inbound sales information appears as either an email or as part of the retailers back-end system, as well as via a DM on Twitter.

Users can access Chirpify for seamless transactions using any mobile device, tablet or desktop computer. In related news, Chirpify has received funding from Upstart Labs, a startup accelerator.
