Shopify’s e-commerce growth
The pandemic has catapulted the adoption of e-commerce. Retailers that were reluctant to e-commerce were forced to start selling online to stay afloat. Shopify was one of the biggest beneficiaries of this wave, thanks to its diverse revenue sources. It earns revenue from subscriptions and processing fees for merchant solutions like Shopify Shipping and Shopify Capital.
The pandemic increased its U.S. e-commerce market share to 8.6% in the first quarter of 2021 from 5.9% in the first quarter of 2020, standing second to
Amazon. Shopify’s 2020 revenue growth rate surged to 85% in 2020 from 47% in 2019. But its growth may normalize in 2021 as the economy opens up and some of the online shopping traffic moves back to offline mode.
