SPREE Live Details
More people want to purchase products they see and ‘Like' on social media, but it's not easy to do. Spree is a new social network that makes it easy for users to purchase products they see and ‘Like' in other users live stream or on-demand video's, the moment they are inspired, without leaving the Spree app. Spree also pays you cash when other users purchase products they see and like in your video's. Shop H&M, Barneys NY, Missguided, and more on Spree.Spree, the shoppable social network.How does it work? In a nut shell, Jenn live streams a video on winter holiday in Tulum using the Spree app. Five of her friends tune-in and approve of the sunset and Jenn's new sunglasses. They each purchase a pair in-app with Apple Pay during the live stream. Jenn earns a commission for each sale. Sunglass Hut ships new sunglasses to her five friends.Wowza Media Systems™, the gold standard for streaming software and services, awarded the Spree application, created by Above Rocks, as the grand prize winner of the GoCoder SDK App Challenge 2016.
