Shping exclusive listing on COBINHOOD exchange

What is Shping?

Do you love shopping? How often do you spend time looking for product information and customer reviews? For many purchases, we often spend a considerable amount of time looking at ingredients, origin information and reviews from other shoppers. Shping platform offers a blockchain experience for this with its own app and a cryptocurrency token with a 'self-service' mobile marketing model. With Shping app, you can look up a product's ingredients, origin and additional details such as videos or ads, product manuals or recipes that the brands may want to share.

Consumers can also contribute details to the global product database, rate or review products, complete surveys or questionnaries, check if a product recall has been made, check certifications or verify authenticity or even register the product for warranty (if applicable).

The app is already available on the iOS and Android app stores. You can simply use it to scan a product’s bar code and gather pertinent product information without any need to type in the details and search on multiple websites. Unlike many other projects, Shping’s app already exists and will soon be tradable on the Cobinhood exchange.

Now, what incentive do people have to use such an app? Shping incentivizes shoppers with SHPING coins for their actions.

There's more! App users will also be able to progress through five different membership tiers from basic to platinum based on specific milestones which again incentivizes users to be more active and frequent on the app.

Shping will also provide brands to physically track their products through their suppl chain with audit and traceability from manufacturing to point of sale using a serialized global trade item number.

In a nutshell, it will offer a value proposition for both the users and the brands.
