Shopify is a prominent e-commerce platform, founded by Tobias Lütke and Scott Lake in 2006. It’s a powerful tool that enables over two million businesses across 175 countries to create their own online stores and sell products directly. The platform is renowned for its user-friendly interface and its flexible design system, “Liquid,” which was introduced in 2006. Shopify is built on Ruby on Rails framework, and its tech stack also includes JavaScript[1] for client-side execution. The platform supports independent developers who wish to create apps or themes. Shopify went public in 2015 and is among the top 20 largest publicly traded companies in Canada. Over the years, it has expanded its services by acquiring companies and entering strategic partnerships. However, it has also faced legal challenges such as lawsuits and campaigns demanding its removal.
