1-800-FLOWERS.COM Sets Up Shop Inside Facebook

// Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 10:35 am GMT -5 // No Comments » // Social Media

In another testament to the notion that Facebook is quietly turning into the internet on top of the Internet, online flower retailer 1-800-Flowers.com has launched an e-commerce store inside its Facebook Page and it’s the first online retailer to launch a fully functional commercial storefront inside Facebook.

Registered users can now order all kinds of floral products from the popular florist and gift shop without ever leaving the social network.

Currently, 1-800-FLOWERS accepts payment with all major credit cards, but it’s conceivable that it will be quick to implement Facebook’s upcoming proprietary payment platform, which is currently being tested with a handful of developers.

To conclude, a tip: when you become a fan of the retailer’s Facebook Page, you get a discount code. Happy flower shopping!
