Can I Host Shopify on My Own Server?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:31 pm

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.Shopify is a hosted platform, which means you can’t download and install it on your own server.

You’ll need to sign up for a Shopify plan to use the platform.

PRO TIP: If you are considering hosting Shopify on your own server, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, Shopify is a cloud-based platform, which means that it is designed to run on our servers, not yours. Second, Shopify requires a very specific server environment in order to run properly, and most self-hosted environments will not meet these requirements. Finally, even if you are able to get Shopify running on your own server, you will likely experience poorer performance and stability than if you were running it on our servers. For these reasons, we do not recommend self-hosting Shopify and instead suggest that you use our hosted platform.
