Shop It Like It’s Hot: All About Shopify

Share

Shopify is one of the many eCommerce platforms that Expandly integrates with but less about us and more about them – Who are Shopify, what do they do and how can they get people to Shopify from you. 

Shopify

Shopify is an eCommerce platform that enables you to set up a webstore that includes a storefront, checkout and blogs.

Snow Good – We’ll Have To Build Our Own

In 2004, Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand and Scott Lake wanted to sell snowboarding equipment online. Unable to find a platform that allowed them to sell and build their own brand and customer relationships, they built their own. They soon realised that others too wanted a slice of the ice and so, two years later, they launched the Shopify platform for all.

Making Commerce Better For Everyone

Shopify’s aim is to make commerce better for everyone; allowing businesses to concentrate on building and selling their products. In recognition of this, they launched an API platform and the Shopify App Store in 2009, to enable developers to create Shopify apps/integrations, available for purchase in the store.

Today

They began as a team of five, working from a local coffee shop and now they have to share the coffee machine with a team of over 3,000, in five different American offices. That’s a lot of coffee. It’s also a lot of:

Stores – they have over 600,000 active Shopify stores

Sales – they’ve had over $55 billion worth of sales

Results – You might recall from our February News Roundup, that Shopify had enviable Q4 results with a 71% increase in total revenue and gross profits of $121.1 million

Best Bits

And if it already sounds like Shopify is the dream, wait until you get to their best bits:
