Partnering up as e-commerce evolves …

Canadian e-commerce giant Shopify has boomed during the pandemic as it:

🛍 Connects sellers of all sizes to online shoppers
🛍 Collaborates with leading tech & media companies
🛍 Partners with government to digitize small businesses

As a result, Shopify ranks 6th on BCG’s 2021 Growth Tech 100 list while e-commerce soars.

Notice how many of these Shopify partners compete with Amazon for retail sales, ads, media and cloud services.
