## The use case: how Shopify deploys Zip

Shopify's finance team uses Zip for intake, procurement orchestration and procure-to-pay. Approvers see the full approval chain with earlier comments and questions, can tag colleagues in Slack, and can analyze procurement patterns such as agency budget history and software rate benchmarks.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Zip and Shopify, not ours.

> He sees the full approval chain, can tag colleagues in Slack, and the next approver sees every earlier comment, so he can ask "is this an approval for a number, or can I figure out all the context I need?"

> The thing I love with Zip is there's an element of context, visibility, and perspective to get to the answer as quickly as you can, which has been amazing.
