Can Shopify Be Used in Other Countries?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:05 am

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. It is also the name of its proprietary e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems.

Shopify was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after attempting to open Snowdevil, an online store for snowboarding equipment. Unhappy with existing e-commerce products available, Lütke and team decided to build their own.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on using Shopify to sell products in another country, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, Shopify is a Canadian company, and as such is subject to Canadian laws and regulations. This means that if you are selling products in another country, you may be required to comply with that country’s laws and regulations as well. Additionally, Shopify’s terms of service state that you may not use the platform to sell products in certain countries, including China and Cuba. Finally, keep in mind that Shopify’s currency conversion rates may not be the most competitive, so you may want to consider using a third-party provider for this service.

Shopify launched its platform in 2006. Since then, the company has grown rapidly, reaching $100 million in annual revenue by 2015. In 2016, Shopify went public on the New York Stock Exchange and today has a market capitalization of over $15 billion.
