Up and to the right.

@Shopify merchants are on a tear: five straight quarters of 30%+ GMV growth.

[Harley Finkelstein @harleyf]

A harness for a French Bulldog. A car seat that sits three across in a sedan. A screenless phone for kids.

These are all real products on @shopify already benefitting from AI search.

AI is rewriting how people shop. Shopify merchants are as always, ahead of the curve.

Thank you @varneyco @FoxBusiness for having me. It’s always great being on your show.

[Harley Finkelstein @harleyf]

Q2 is in, and it was a monster quarter.

→ $116B in merchant sales, up 32% YoY
→ $3.6B revenue, up 34% YoY
→ $654M free cash flow, 18% margin

Five quarters running, GMV has grown more than 30%.

The bigger story is underneath the numbers: every shift AI is creating happens to play to @Shopify's strengths.

[Nous Research @NousResearch]

Shopify is the all-in-one commerce platform powering millions of businesses worldwide

Thank you to the @Shopify team for building their own official Hermes Agent skill enabling your agent to manage products, orders, inventory, and fulfillments from any channel.

we already saved 700+ human *days* worth of time with v11 across Shopify POS checkouts. 700...days.

we're on our way to making Shopify POS the fastest in-person checkout machine in the world. good work team. we're just getting started.
