“Staples customers are very excited about the new computers and tablets featuring Windows 8, and we’re enhancing the Staples.com experience for Windows 8 users,” said Steve Bussberg, senior vice president of Staples.com.
Users can pin commonly used features of the Staples app to their Windows 8 Start screen, including an ink & toner finder, a printer finder, and their “lists” section, where they create and share distinctive lists of Staples products, like “my favorites” or “recent orders.”

With the snap view, users can set up a list of their favorite features from the Staples app on either the left or right-hand side of their screen.
The Staples Windows Store app also works in conjunction with Staples other e-commerce properties, allowing customers to view or add items to their cart on the Windows Store app, the Staples smartphone app, the mobile website, the tablet site or Staples.com, making it easy for them to shop whenever and however it’s convenient for them.
The app is available for free download in the Windows Store and will serve tablets, laptops and desktop PCs.
