About Shopify
Shopify lets anyone run an online shop on a subscription, and it is the main alternative to selling through Amazon. Merchants keep their own customer relationships and branding, which is precisely what a marketplace listing does not give them. It also runs payments, shipping and lending for its merchants, so the subscription is a smaller part of its revenue than the services layered on top of it.
