Shopify

E-commerce platform service

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create online stores, process payments, and manage inventory.

The name functions as both company and product: She built her store on Shopify.

It has become nearly synonymous with independent online retail, much as Amazon dominates marketplace selling.

The verb shopify sometimes appears informally meaning to set up an online storefront.
