SHOPLINE, a leading and rapidly growing e-commerce Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider trusted by over 600,000 merchants worldwide, has partnered with Quay Acceleration, a top U.S.-based startup accelerator with a global founder track record, to launch a three-month program for omnichannel retail brands ready to scale across markets, platforms, and storefronts.
Built for early- and growth-stage companies operating online, in-store, and via social commerce, the accelerator blends infrastructure, mentorship, and real-world retail strategy to help founders grow across both borders and sales channels.
“The future of retail is borderless and seamlessly omnichannel,” said Christopher Yang, U.S. Co-President of SHOPLINE. “Through our partnership with the Quay accelerator, we’re empowering the next generation of founders to scale faster by unifying their physical and digital presence. By breaking down the barriers between online and offline commerce, we’re enabling brands to build truly connected retail experiences that meet customers wherever they are.”
This Fall, the program will welcome 40 retail founders in fashion, beauty, home, and consumer goods. At least half of the cohort will operate both digital and brick-and-mortar storefronts. The program delivers:
- SHOPLINE’s Unified Commerce Platform: A fully integrated stack spanning ecommerce, POS, CRM, and social commerce tools—with deep integrations into Meta, TikTok, and Amazon
- Custom Curriculum from Quay: A flexible, founder-centered accelerator model built on work with over 600+ prior alumni in retail, tech entrepreneurship, and more
- Network Access: Over 700 mentors, 300+ investors, and 150 corporate partners fueling strategic growth
- High-Visibility Demo Day: A curated finale connecting founders with investors, media, and ecosystem leaders
“Our programs are built for international founders scaling into the U.S.—with real business outcomes in sales, fundraising, and operations – as well as access to a world-class network of retail entrepreneurs,” said John Lynn, Managing Director of the accelerator and Co-Founder, at Quay Accelerator. “Together with SHOPLINE, we’re offering a launchpad for omnichannel brands that want to grow fast—and grow globally.”
Quay’s experience supporting retail entrepreneurs through omnichannel growth strategies aligns closely with SHOPLINE’s platform vision. Over the past decade, Quay has supported more than 600 companies from 27+ countries, whose founders have raised $1.18BN+ post-program, building a combined portfolio worth more than $6 billion. In the past six months alone, Quay has operated 12 accelerator cohorts supporting more than 120 founders.
