About

Shopify is a complete commerce platform that lets you start, grow, and manage a business. Build an online store, sell across channels, and manage everything from a single dashboard.

Target Audience: Shopify is used by ecommerce founders, DTC brands, and retail operators who need to start selling quickly without building a custom commerce stack. It is also used by merchants that want one system for storefront, checkout, POS, inventory, and fulfillment across online and physical locations.
Not ideal for: Businesses that need a fully self-hosted or open-source commerce stack with complete source-code control and highly bespoke backend logic should look elsewhere.

What makes it different

  • Hosted commerce platform with integrated storefront, checkout, payments, and admin in one system
  • Shopify POS synchronizes in-person and online sales with shared inventory and customer data
  • Large ecosystem of apps, themes, and APIs for extending storefronts, workflows, and integrations
  • Built-in omnichannel selling across online store, social channels, marketplaces, and accelerated checkout via Shop Pay
