Build the future of commerce
Shopify is here to make commerce better for everyone, from the merchants we empower to achieve independence, to the customers they serve, to the developers who help make it all happen.
Thousands of apps, powering millions of businesses
Merchants have a diverse set of needs, and developers have a unique opportunity to meet those needs. And that opportunity is massive:
Millions of merchants

Helping developers thrive
With the Shopify App Store merchants not only have a place to find solutions to their business challenges, but it’s also a platform for app developers to start and grow their own business.
