Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform that lets websites add storefronts and accept payments, has added support for NFTs, allowing store owners to sell the crypto collectibles directly without relying on an external marketplace.
Word of the NFT support comes from Shopify president Harley Finklestein, who tweeted about the news via his personal Twitter account today. He said that the official NFT drop from the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, which was announced late last week, marks one of the first examples of the tech being used by a Shopify partner. He said that the functionality is open to “a select few” Shopify partners “for now,” but to “stay tuned.”
