Caribbean Shopping Apps

The CaribShopper App Eases Access to eBay and DHL Shipping Services

— August 30, 2016 — Tech
CaribShopper is an innovative new smartphone shopping app, launched by Caribbean e-commerce and online shopping platform CaribShopper as part of a collaboration with eBay, that is designed to make it easier than ever for shoppers staying in the Caribbean region to purchase items off eBay.

Despite the growth of Caribbean economies, it has been impossible for many people living in the region to safely purchase items through eBay. This is where the CaribShopper shopping app comes in. The app allows users to skip conventional freight forwarding services and instead enjoy eBay shipping services via DHL. Users don't even need to use a credit card to make purchases, as they can use the embedded 'Go Top Up' tool to add CaribShopper credits and use them for purchases.

By offering streamlined and reliable access to eBay, CaribShopper is wisely tapping into the upwardly mobile Caribbean demographic.
