Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ParcelPal Technology Inc. (“ParcelPal” or the “Company”), (PKG:CSE) (FSE:PT0) (OTC:PTNYF)  - is pleased to announce that the company’s plug-in has been removed from the beta status on the Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) (TSX:SH) app store and is readily available for download by any Shopify enabled merchant.

Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform provider that gives retailers everything they need to build and operate a successful online store. According Shopify’s recent financial records, they currently have over 300,000 merchant customers in approximately 150 countries world-wide.

The Company released their beta Shopify plugin on July 6^th 2016 enabling retailers in the Vancouver area the ability to offer on demand delivery. The company had a very successful beta, with about 20 retail locations signing up and installing the plugin over the test period.

Businesses using Shopify can now integrate with ParcelPal by simply downloading and installing the plug-in. The Shopify plugin is available to download here: https://send.parcelpal.com/shopify-app-install.  With the recent announcements of release of the Company’s Liquor Store and Marijuana Dispensary Platforms, adding a potential 300,000 retailers to the Company’s target customer pool, will enable continued growth.

As Vancouver’s first and only “Uber for delivery” ParcelPal has enabled consumers to have their goods, be they merchandise, food, liquor, or medicinal marijuana, delivered either “same day”, or “on-demand”, in which case, the package will arrive to their chosen destination within an hour.

President Kelly Abbott states, “The launch of the ParcelPal Shopify App continues to move our Company towards a consumer-driven shipping solution by allowing consumers and businesses access to the ParcelPal network. This is another important step on the road to a North American footprint.”

The Company’s has already begun development of additional eCommerce plug-ins’ such as: Magento, PrestaShop, BigCommerce and WooCommerce. The Company plans on recruiting drivers and scaling operations in various cities throughout Canada where eCommerce retailers are located.

Mr. Abbott further states, “The fulfillment business, like many others, requires solving a “chicken and egg” problem.  You can’t grow a customer base rapidly without personnel in place to service them, and without being willing to incur significant startup costs, you can’t hire personnel without customers in place.  Our solution, thanks to our more vertically targeted competitors, is to grow the deliveries by facilitating businesses, and then take advantage of the trained “contractors” already on the road and underutilized.”
