8 years ago we started SAMARA. We were relentless in our search for better materials and obsessed with making a difference in the fashion industry. We sold 700k+ products and made things out of apples & castor seeds 2 years ago I became a mom and realized we needed to do more

We launched a new @Shopify app! 🎉🛍️ After talking to many retail POS merchants, one of their main problems was not being able to sell products with fractional quantities (weight, length, etc) properly So we decided to build the app to solve this 🤝 apps.shopify.com/pos-fractio…

woooooooop! good stuff all around Shopify apps are great businesses to build because they don’t need huge teams, have a great distribution channel, and are easy to charge for As long as u make the merchant more than they’re paying you, it’s a no brainer
3 years ago, my team at Lazer, @Ashish_Yelekar, and I began building @Shopify apps, helping out 10,000+ merchants along the way ❤️⚡️ Today, we’re thrilled to announce that our flagship Shopify app, @SuperchargedSMS, has officially been acquired! 🎉 zainmanji.medium.com/superch…
