Shopify Is Expanding Its Augmented Reality Ecosystem

Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) recently bought Primer, an augmented reality app that lets users digitally preview the effects of tile, wallpaper, and paint changes to homes, for an undisclosed sum. In a blog post, Primer said it was "excited to have the opportunity to realize" its "founding conviction of building immersive shopping experiences on a massive scale at Shopify," and will shut down the app on July 10.
