Shopify intent on giving Amazon a run for its money
November 5, 2019
Shopify can now boast that it has a million businesses on its online platform. The company, which has seen $183 billion in worldwide economic activity generated on its platform between 2016 and 2018, still lags far behind Amazon, which generated $207 billion last year alone. Shopify, however, is growing at a faster annual clip and believes its model, which emphasizes brands and retailers operating their own stores, will be a winner over the long haul.
