Company Description

Opportunity is not uniformly accessible. Shopify brings independence to anyone with an entrepreneurial ambition.

Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur makes their first sale on Shopify.

The work we do significantly impacts people's lives as it transforms our own. It's about giving power to the many instead of a select few, championing diversity, and creating more choices rather than limiting them.
