Shopify History

Shopify was founded in 2006 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake following the creation of the online store Snowdevil, a snowboard equipment store. Lütke, a programmer, unable to find transactional site construction software to build his site according to his needs, decided to build his own site construction software. Lütke explained his decision in these terms: "After trying a series of online store software, I was so disgusted with the quality of the results, that I wanted to do something better just to piss them off."

Lütke designed a custom store using what was then an obscure open-source platform called Ruby on Rails. After two months, he had an operational online store and Snowdevil was launched. In 2006, the founders decided to share their code to help others sell items online. Lütke then created a model in which future sellers only had to insert photos and descriptions of their products to create their online stores. Shopify was born in June 2006. Lütke describes his product as follows: "what used to take months in 2004 can now be done in around 20 minutes".

After its launch, Shopify used blogging and word of mouth to market itself. She also used a series of Build-a-Business contests to attract customers, with the help of entrepreneurs, bloggers, and mentors well known to the public, such as Tim Ferriss, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mark Cuban. Shopify is now in its 7th edition of the competition.

In 2013, the company had 80,000 customers, processed $ 1.6 billion in customer sales, earned $ 50 million in revenues, and was valued at $ 1 billion.
