About Shopify

Shopify is a leading eCommerce platform that enables individuals and businesses to create, manage, and scale online stores without needing to build stuff from scratch.

It's a complete end-to-end solution from storefront creation and payment processing to inventory, shipping, and marketing tools.

Shopify is known for its ease of use, fast setup, and broad ecosystem among eCommerce
practitioners, including thousands of apps and themes. It's ideal for both beginners and growing brands.

Psst...Go headless for a better experience!

Pair up Shopify with a headless CMS and you'll get Headless Shopify! It's the perfect solution for eCommerce businesses that want to control their product inventory and payment processing while still enjoying all of its features. This backend also makes it easy to update your store with new products without knowing about coding or managing servers.

Who is Shopify best suited for?

  • Entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to launch an online store quickly with minimal technical effort needed.

  • Retailers going online with in-store POS integration and unified inventory.

  • Businesses focused on sales, not software - Shopify handles all the hosting, security, and updates for you.

  • Developers and agencies customizing advanced storefronts via Shopify's Liquid templating and Storefront API.

Example use cases

  • Direct-to-consumer brands - Build and grow branded online storefronts with marketing tools, analytics, and integrations.

  • Subscription-based businesses - Sell recurring products or memberships using apps like Recharge.

  • Multi-channel retailers - Sell across online stores, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, and physical POS with one, centralized management.

  • Dropshipping retailers - You can easily integrate with suppliers via apps like Oberlo.

  • Headless commerce setups - Use Shopify’s backend with custom frontends (e.g. using Next.js or Hydrogen) via the Storefront API.
