“The next evolution for ecommerce is NFTs and the GigLabs NFT App in the Shopify App Store allows select businesses to quickly and easily offer NFTs to their consumers.

BreakingT and Infinite Objects

BreakingT and Infinite Objects are the first companies to launch NFTs using GigLabs' NFT application on Shopify to develop a new revenue stream and deepen customer loyalty.

Therefore, both brands have worked extremely closely with GigLabs to design and build the Shopify NFTs integration:
