Shopify

Shopify is an online platform that helps people start their own businesses. It allows people to create a website where they can sell their products, like clothes, toys, or food. It also provides tools like payment processing and shipping services so people can easily manage their store. An example of how Shopify works is if someone wanted to sell handmade jewelry, they could create a website using Shopify, list their jewelry for sale, and let customers make payments for their purchases. Shopify also handles the shipping of the jewelry, so the seller doesn’t have to worry about it. According to Shopify, over 1 million businesses in more than 175 countries are using their platform. An analogy to help you understand Shopify is like having a store in a mall. You create the store, put your products in it, and have customers come in and buy them. But instead of having an actual store in the mall, you have a website that customers can visit. Fun Fact: Shopify was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.
