Company
Two Tap
Connects retailers to sellers via a unified API
We built a platform that lets companies sell products from any retailer directly within their app or website, bypassing traditional multi-step online checkouts. Our API handles the complex integration and checkout process, so developers don't have to deal with unreliable scraping or fragmented retailer systems. It works across all devices, improving the path from discovery to purchase.
We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our network and startup ecosystem is strongest, and where we can recruit talent and meet customers. Being here helps us move fast and stay connected to the core of e-commerce innovation.
