Shopify

Shopify is a commerce platform that lets businesses create online stores and sell across web, mobile, social media, and physical retail locations. It provides customizable storefront themes, a secure checkout, integrated payments, inventory and order management, shipping tools, and a large app store for extending functionality.

It serves entrepreneurs, independent makers, and established brands that want to manage online and in-person sales from a single system. Strengths include quick setup, dependable hosted infrastructure, point-of-sale hardware, and the marketing and analytics tools that help merchants grow at every stage.

Shopify operates on tiered monthly subscriptions, with added fees for payment processing and optional plans for high-volume and enterprise merchants. Headquartered in Canada and publicly traded, it powers millions of businesses selling in more than 175 countries around the world.
