I can honestly say without these products from Shopify my business wouldn’t be around today. They honestly understand what it’s like to start, run and grow a business. Not many companies care as much as they do.

A merchant with over 100,000 SKUs switched to Shopify Tax in less than 72 hours. All SKUs categorized in every jurisdiction. Fully migrated. They decided on Wednesday and were fully live by the weekend. These are usually 6-12 month projects.

There is a rot at the core of journalism that allows some reporters to stop caring about the truth. Goal of some journalists seems to be lie a lot to get headlines but not enough to be caught red handed making things up. Getting good at this is bad for your soul.
Say the Thing was the title of the first internal blog post I wrote when I started at Shopify in 2019. I'm incredibly proud that Shopify is a company where we say the thing - all the time.
