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, who were looking for a way to sell snowboards online. Shopify was initially written in Ruby on Rails by Lütke.

He has since been replaced as CEO by Harley Finkelstein. Weinand left the company in 2008.

Shopify offers both a hosted platform and a self-hosted one (Shopify Plus). It has also developed an app store.
