Prior to Shopify, eCommerce solutions for online businesses were a pretty ramshackle affair, either picked from a poor selection of expensive off-the-shelf products or developed in-house. Shopify was born from its founder's frustration in setting up a store to sell snowboards online. Since then it has grown into the world's biggest eCommerce platform, with over 1 million active merchants using the platform to sell almost anything imaginable over the internet.
