E-Commerce solution provider Shopify has acquired Tiny Hearts, a digital product studio and creator of consumer-facing apps such as Quick Fit, Next Keyboard and Wake Alarm. The acquisition will include the company’s apps, online store and brand, called Busy Building Things.
Tiny Hearts’ six-person product team will be joining Shopify’s Toronto office, according to a blog post. With Tiny Hearts’ mobile talent on board, Shopify will be able to enhance its mobile product offerings. The two companies have already collaborated on multiple Shopify products, including a pop-up shop called Popify, and apps such as Frenzy (a flash sales app) and Shopkey (a keyboard app).
Founded in 2010, Tiny Hearts has worked with clients such as Philips and Wealthsimple, in addition to Shopify. According to the blog post, the company’s apps have been downloaded by more than six million people and have won multiple awards.
