Shopping questions, answered

HipSnip is a distributed network of shopping Q&A sites.

Retailers and publishers embed HipSnip into their sites, giving their audiences an easy way to get great shopping advice before they buy.

Shoppers simply ask a question on a HipSnip powered site, which is sent to the best people to answer. This includes everyone from expert retail staff to people who’ve recently shopped for similar stuff.

For shoppers HipSnip provides a single sign on service and consolidates all the advice they receive across multiple sites.

So whether they’re reading reviews on a publisher’s website or browsing options on an ecommerce store, a shopper has a convenient and trusted channel to get expert advice.
