Netflix House Dallas just opened. It’s not a store or a theme park. It’s a 100,000-square-foot world where entertainment and commerce are one. You walk through stranger things. You play Squid Game. The commerce isn't a separate step at the end. It’s part of the story. When the experience is this immersive, the technology has to be invisible. This is where Shopify POS comes in. Our mobile tech means the staff meet fans exactly where they are. No counters. No bottlenecks. Just a seamless flow. Netflix built the world. Shopify makes it shoppable. This is the future of retail.

The Universal Commerce Protocol with Shopify Catalog is now open to every developer. Since we announced UCP in January, it’s been powering agentic commerce across some of the biggest AI platforms in the world. Now, new tools are available to anyone who wants to build a shopping experience. That means a solo developer has the same commerce layer as the largest tech companies on the planet. One protocol. Millions of merchants. Billions of products. And every new experience a developer builds? That's a win for merchants too. More places for people to discover and buy their products. Nothing to set up. Commerce that can show up anywhere, inside anything, built by anyone.

This story from Barry Diller stopped me in my tracks. We asked him how Hollywood was really built. His answer is something every entrepreneur needs to hear. 15 million Jews in a world of 8 billion. We have never had the luxury of waiting for permission. So we built our own doors. Shabbat Shalom. 🕯️

Supplements aren't inherently a luxury item. They're functional. Seed Health changed that. They took supplements out of plastic bottles and turned health into a luxury experience. Matte glass. Minimal branding. Every detail is intentional. I've been taking Seed daily for three years now and love them. Incredible product arakatz. Now they've launched their store on Shopify. Welcome to Shopify, Seed.

My dad used to print me a business card every time I had a new business idea as a kid. It made me feel like a real entrepreneur. My daughter wants to start a lemonade stand. So I opened Tinker and made her a logo and business cards in minutes. From my phone. We built Tinker so anyone with an idea can start doing something with it. Go try it. This is awesome Rousseau Kazi

We're not just winning today's biggest brands. We’re also powering tomorrow's. $100M+ GMV merchants have nearly doubled in two years. And brands that started on Shopify are scaling to nine figures faster than ever. All on our platform. Always a good time with Jordi Hays and John Coogan. 🤝

Just wrapped our Q2 earnings call and we delivered once again. GMV up 31% to $87.8B. Revenue up 31% to $2.7B. Free cash flow margin was 16%. But as you know, my favourite part of these calls is talking about how the biggest brands continue to come to Shopify! A big welcome to Canada Goose, Starbucks and Burton Snowboards. Consistency, follow through, durable growth. That’s Shopify’s MO. And now back to building.

It’s official: Shopify is the first commerce integration partner on Roblox. Soon, you’ll be able to shop physical products like clothing, accessories and collectables designed by your favourite creators and brands, all within Roblox, and it’s all powered by Shopify. This means that developers, creators, and brands who are on Shopify, can sell DIRECTLY within their Roblox games. More spaces to connect with fans means more opportunities to succeed as an entrepreneur, and that is what we are powering at Shopify. See you soon on Roblox 🚀

What matters most to our merchants and their customers is: choice. We make that a reality with every partnership we execute. Soon, Amazon will release an app in Shopify’s app ecosystem that will give merchants who use Amazon’s fulfillment network the choice to add Buy with Prime on Shopify’s Checkout - and it’s all processed by Shopify Payments 🚀

What an incredible Black Friday. Shopify merchants hit a high of $5.1 million in sales per minute and more than 30 million shoppers have purchased from a Shopify merchant today. Entrepreneurs: we see you. We see all of you. Those who are built different.

A few years ago, four guys from Montreal sent me a late-night video asking if they should move their brand to Shopify. I sent a video back and connected them to our team. Since then I've personally delivered their 10K and 1M order Milestones. Last weekend they opened their first physical store here in Montreal. Started online. Scaled it digitally. Now meeting their customers in person. Congrats Manmade, this is just the beginning.
