POPSHOP A Free Open Source WordPress Theme for Social Commerce

At Syzygy (London/Frankfurt-based digital agency), we’ve just released a free open source WordPress theme for ‘pay-with-a-share’ social commerce called POPSHOP.

You can grab it, and see working demos over at getpopshop.com.

POPSHOP is a free one-page WordPress theme that adds a temporary ‘pop-up shop’ page to your website or Facebook Page, allowing you to sell digital content or a product sample for the price of a social share.

Inspired by the award-winning “Pay-with-a-Tweet“, we thought it’s be cool if there was a simple self-hosted solution for this kind of social commerce – with more features;

• More ‘social payment’ options; – Pay with a Pin, Pay with a Google +1, pay with a LinkedIn Share etc.
• More kinds of product that you can ‘sell’ – physical product samples and streamed video content.
• Works on your Facebook Page as well as your website

So we built POPSHOP, a kind of Pay-with-Tweet on steroids.

It’s designed to make it easy for artists, agencies, businesses and brands to self-manage simple but effective pop-up ‘pay-with-a-share campaigns’ on websites and Facebook Pages.

It’s free and open-source, our contribution to the social commerce world.  Enjoy and let us know what you think!
