History of shopify
Initially, Shopify was found in 2004 and was developed on the basis of the previous version of the software. This platform was founded by Tobias Lutke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake. Due to being dissatisfied with the existing e-commerce product on the market, Lutke decided to develop his own. So the next version was released in June 2006. Further, the free mobile application was launched in April 2010 on the Apple store. With the help of this application, the users can see and maintain the stores from iOS mobile devices. Next, in August 2013, the Shopify payments were released. By 2014, the platform hosted 1,20,000 online retailers.
On May 21 2015, Shopify became public and started trading. In September 2015, Amazon.com introduced the closing of Amazon web store service offered to merchants and chose Shopify as the preferred migration provider.
