Commerce platform for online and in-person sales

Visit Shopify

Shopify is a cloud-based, multi-channel commerce platform for designing, setting up and managing stores across web, mobile, social media, marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations and pop-up shops, with a back office and a single view of the business. It also includes Burst, a free stock photo platform offering royalty-free images for commercial use without attribution.

Core capabilities include themes and templates, a checkout, Shopify Payments, POS and POS Pro, inventory management, marketing tools such as email campaigns, SMS, automations and abandoned checkout recovery, Shopify Markets for localized selling, Shopify B2B, analytics and reporting, and integration with thousands of apps. AI features include a website builder, the Sidekick commerce assistant, and selling in AI chats through the Agentic plan. Shopify also offers Shopify Balance, Capital, Credit and Bill Pay.

Plans are Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus, with a free trial and a free starting option; plans are billed monthly or yearly, with staff account limits varying by edition. POS Pro is a per-location add-on, and Agentic is a usage-based plan where you pay only when you make a sale.
