If Shopify stays on track then it will continue with plans to triple the size of its downtown Ottawa headquarters to 500,000 square feet by year-end 2021, and boost staff locally from 750 plus to roughly 3,000 over the same period.
The company is now sitting on a cash mountain of nearly $1 billion U.S., which it intends to use to further invest in the business, perhaps acquire other firms, and provide rock solid stability for the balance sheet.
July: Top 4 shop industries on Shopify & some stats for apps
The largest industry on Shopify is fashion and apparel. It looks like it's about 3 to 4 times bigger than any other industry based on the graph.
The top industries on Shopify are 1) fashion & apparel, 2) health & beauty, 3) home & furniture, and 4) food & drink.
The three other fastest growing industries on Shopify are 1) pet products, 2) music and 3) adult products.

In 2016, half of the top 25 apps were published within the year. “The app store is ripe for disruption.”
July: eBay to be added as a sales channel

"Experts refer more business to Shopify than Partners do — which is significant to note, given that there are under 1,000 total Experts but 80,000+ Partners."
"The same compounded importance applies to the Plus (or enterprise) level. Less than 100 total Plus Experts and Plus Partners together refer and work with the lion’s share of Shopify Plus merchants, despite their modest numbers."

2016 Year in review

Shopify announce 4th quarter and full year 2016 results
On the 15th February 2017, Shopify announced their latest results:
“That eight of our ten top sellers over the Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend were merchants that had upgraded from lower-priced plans reminds us that today’s startups become tomorrow’s superstars, at a velocity that appears to be increasing all the time." according to Tobi Lütke, founder and CEO.
Total revenue for the full year grew 90% to $389.3 million, compared with $205.2 million in 2015. Within this, Subscription Solutions revenue grew 68% to $188.6 million and Merchant Solutions revenue grew 115% to $200.7 million.
More than 133,000 net new merchants began selling on Shopify, which ended the year with approximately 377,500 merchants on the platform.
Merchants on average became more successful on Shopify, as Gross Merchant Volume per merchant grew by 25% over last year.
The number of partners referring at least one new merchant to Shopify in 2016 grew to more than 11,000, compared with more than 8,500 in 2015.
Shopify Capital successfully launched, providing merchants with more than $30 million in aggregate in cash advances to help fuel their businesses by providing working capital for growth, such as securing inventory, hiring employees or marketing activities.
Shopify launched Apple Pay for the web, and by year end, more than 150,000 of Shopify’s merchants had elected to offer Apple Pay as a means for checkout. These merchants saw conversion rates approximately double by shoppers who have enabled Apple Pay.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2016
At its peak, over $555,716 in transactions occurred in a single minute. The peaks in orders on the two days were different. More and more orders are passing on mobile, but interestingly while on Friday more orders passed on mobile, on Monday orders passed on desktop pushed slightly ahead. Black Friday now reaches beyond the U.S. into Europe, particularly in Spain, Denmark, Canada, and the U.K.
I found some of the most interesting facts in the bottom line of the article: "This data is from a subset of Shopify’s 325,000+ merchants who made less than $50M USD in sales through the Shopify platform in 2016 and have fewer than 100 staff accounts associated with their store." Clearly larger accounts are playing a more important role, so much so that they need to be excluded to avoid skewing the statistics.
November: Third quarter 2016 Earnings Release
Some odds and ends that caught my attention. Stores supporting Apple Pay have seen an increase in checkout conversion rate of up to 2x on mobile, and customers are able to checkout up to 60% faster with Apple Pay than with a credit card alone. To date, Shopify Capital has advanced more than $20 million to merchants. 30,000+ merchants have installed Facebook Messenger for their shops.
