The SHOP.COM Story

In 1997 Lee Lorenzen found his mailbox bulging with more than two dozen catalogs, all delivered in a single day. Being both an entrepreneur and a technologist, he realized that there must be a more efficient way for merchants to place their offers in front of customers.

Now, backed by a decade of technology development, the original vision has evolved into an extremely robust multi-merchant marketplace where customers can shop from thousands of brands and hundreds of stores using our patented OneCart™ technology and a single account. It’s called SHOP.COM.

We began by partnering with merchants. Big merchants. Small merchants. Merchants with household brands and those with specialty niche products. In all cases, merchants who have passed SHOP.COM’s OneCart™ Trusted Merchant Certification Program, a stringent quality review process that insists on family-friendly products and a demonstrated expertise at remote shopping - from high quality product presentations to on-time delivery and conscientious customer service.

As a result, at SHOP.COM, we provide easy access to a vast selection of products and merchants – from well-known name brands to lesser-known but equally high quality specialty retailers – organized for convenience in finding, comparing and buying items for the home, family, work, friends and personal needs and interests.

Our multi-merchant features --- search, gift registries, wish lists, save-for-later, date reminders, and eGifts, among others – are unique. No where else can shoppers create wedding registries or wish lists that feature traditional gifts from well known merchants as well as unique items from boutique retailers all in a single location. Our proprietary, patented OneCart solution provides shoppers with the convenience of one password-protected account that allows them to buy from hundreds of merchants and thousands of brands using one universal shopping cart, one navigational experience, and one place to track, manage and remember all of their purchases, day-to-day and year-to-year, safely and securely.

We believe that a shopping venue that provides convenience and ease of use, lots of choices and great prices, safety and security, trusted brands and hard-to-find products and a personalized experience is compelling. And SHOP•COM delivers all that.

Thank you for visiting us.
