Ergo offers a software plugin that adds a “Make an offer with ergo” button to product pages, replacing the usual add-to-cart flow so customers can submit a single offer and wait time. The system removes back-and-forth negotiation: shoppers enter how much they will pay and how long they will wait, and retailers choose to accept or reject. The product is initially distributed as a Shopify app and was privately listed on Shopify prior to this announcement. Founder and CEO Claire Stepanek developed the idea while working on price negotiations on Apple’s supply chain team. The company is very early-stage and pre-revenue. Ergo plans to hire, expand its product pipeline (including apps for other marketplaces), build analytics for merchants, and push features for the upcoming holiday shopping season.
