Walla!shops (Hebrew: וואלה! שופס) is an Israeli E-commerce website, part of the Bezeq group, designed for purchasing different products and services online. The site offers 28 trading categories such as: electricity products, smartphones and mobile phones, furniture, fashion and more. Google Israel estimates e-commerce in Israel during 2012 has totaled a mere $1 billion[1] , making walla!shops a key player in an ever growing market[2].
Background and services
The company was founded in 1999 as a joint project of walla! and the software company commercemind. It was registered as a company by its first CEO Ori Nadler. The website itself was launched in the year 2000 and by 2004 was named one of the leading online shopping networks in Israel.[3] In 2003 Walla!shops and the travel agency Issta created Walla!tours - an online travel agency. In 2006 the company launched two additional services: Walla!buy, a free commerce arena similar to eBay, and Walla!pay, a service that allows payments in the PayPal model. In 2011 the company launched a photo print and design website called Walla!print, which allows designing photo albums and calendars without downloading a software. In 2015 the company launched its Mopipic app, which allows creating digital albums or calendars directly from your smartphone.
In July 2015 The third annual GO eCommerce summit, the largest eCommerce event in Israel, took place Tel Aviv. WallaShops' CEO Eli Lavi lead a discussion titled “New trends in eCommerce logistics.”[4].
