Our take
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.
Today Shopify has a commanding lead among eCommerce platforms, though it may be threatened by the rapid growth of its rival WooCommerce, which is popular in online stores built using WordPress. However Shopify has made moves to stay ahead of the competition, developing new products such as Shopify Collabs which makes it easier for influencers to collaborate with brands, and offering financing services to eligible merchants to support their business growth.
Shopify has enjoyed strong growth in the years since its IPO, achieving more than 26% revenue growth compared to 2022 in 2023 alone, driven by the continuing shift to online shopping and the improved capabilities of the platform. It will be looking to build on this growth by continuing to develop its range of products and making further strategic acquisitions to support its platform.
