Shopify is an all-in-one ecommerce platform designed to make the business of selling online easy and accessible to anyone. The mission of Shopify is to make commerce better for everyone—from small business owners to entrepreneurs, buyers, sellers and developers.
Shopify's core focus is to help merchants create, set up, and grow online stores. They provide a comprehensive platform that includes a suite of tools and services to help merchants create a well-designed site, manage inventory, accept orders, process payments and even ship orders.

This mission is supported by a number of different objectives, including:
- Providing merchants with a platform that is simple to use and highly accessible.
- Empowering merchants with the tools and resources necessary to succeed.
- Ensuring merchants have access to an open and secure commerce ecosystem that allows them to do business in any country or market.
