| Offering | At SHOP.COM, consumers can shop for more than 10 million products from hundreds of trusted merchants in a single location; managing it all with a single password-protected account.
SHOP.COM securely passes order information to participating merchants who provide all subsequent pick, pack and ship functions as well as post-order customer service.

| Technology | SHOP.COM developed a proprietary Advanced Merchant Operating System (AMOS) which is vastly scaleable and uniquely supports multi-merchant functionality, including a patented Universal Shopping Cart technology called OneCart® that allows a customer to purchase, simultaneously or serially, from any merchant in the SHOP.COM marketplace in a single check-out using a single password-protected account. AMOS allows SHOP•COM to offer consumers easy access to millions of products without the company ever touching a piece of inventory. AMOS is the most robust multi-vendor, multi-lingual, multi-currency e-commerce platform available today. |
