Ergo

Ergo (ergo Offers, Inc.) is a New York-based e-commerce pricing company that lets online shoppers name their own price. Its flagship product is a Shopify app that adds a "Make an Offer with ergo" button to product pages: a customer submits the price they are willing to pay and how long they are willing to wait, and the merchant accepts or rejects the offer from a backend dashboard. Beyond bartering, Ergo captures true willingness-to-pay data and turns it into pricing analytics and a price-discovery and optimization tool, helping retailers clear excess inventory and reduce blanket discounting. Founded and led by CEO Claire Stepanek (previously supply chain at Apple), Ergo raised a $1.5M pre-seed round in October 2023 led by Anthemis with Wischoff Ventures. Ergo does not currently publish a public developer API; this profile captures its company identity.

Ergo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Retail, Pricing, and Shopify.

Ergo’s developer surface includes support and 5 more developer resources.
