- Product Description
- SquareTrade SideBar is a smarter, safer online shopping assistant that makes comparison shopping more convenient. A companion to your browser, SideBar automatically assists your online shopping with relevant comparison information on pricing, availability, reviews and seller information across multiple channels, including stores, auctions and local classified ads. SideBar is also the first shopping assistant to integrate fraud-detection and anti-phishing technology.
- Market Opportunity
- According to Forrester Research, Americans account for more than 50 million visits to comparison shopping sites every month. However, surveys show that only 10% of Internet users have used a comparison-shopping site. Given the $87.5 billion online retail market, comparison shopping holds promising prospects for 2005 and beyond.
- DEMO Says
- SquareTrade has made a name for itself verifying online sellers and arbitrating online transaction disputes. Now, SquareTrade extends its validation technology to support pre-sale shopping and to protect consumers from scurrilous phishing attacks. As more business — shopping and otherwise — moves online, the industry will require a verification and reputation system that crosses site boundaries. SquareTrade is well on its way to become the standard for Web-based transaction verification.
