13 +Company Overview
12 12  
13 -A rich ecosystem of app developers, theme designers and other partners has evolved around the Shopify platform. With approximately 11,000 active partners referring merchants over the last year, Shopify has built a strong, symbiotic relationship with its partners that continues to grow. The company believe this ecosystem has grown in part due to the platform’s functionality, which is highly extensible and can be expanded through its application program interface ("API") and the approximately 1,400 apps available in the Shopify App Store. This ecosystem helps drive the growth of its merchant base, which in turn further accelerates growth of the ecosystem.
14 14  
15 -The company's mission is to make commerce better for everyone, and the company believe the company can help merchants of nearly all sizes and retail verticals realize their potential. While its platform can scale to meet the needs of larger merchants, the company focus on selling to SMBs. As of December 31, 2016, the company had more than 377,500 merchants from approximately 175 countries using its platform. Most of its merchants are on subscription plans that cost less than $50 per month, which is in line with its focus of providing cost effective solutions for early stage businesses. In the year ended December 31, 2016, its platform processed Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV") of $15.4 billion, representing an increase of 99.5% from the year ended December 31, 2015.

17 -The company's business has experienced rapid growth. During the year ended December 31, 2016 its total revenue was $389.3 million, an increase of 89.7% versus the year ended December 31, 2015. The company's business model has two revenue streams: a recurring subscription component the company call subscription solutions and a merchant success-based component the company call merchant solutions.
18 18  
19 -In the year ended December 31, 2016, subscription solutions revenues accounted for 48.4% of its total revenues (54.6% in the year ended December 31, 2015). The company offer a range of plans that increase in price depending on additional features and economic considerations. The company's highest-end plan, Shopify Plus, has grown rapidly since its launch in November 2014. Offered at a starting rate that is several times that of its Shopify Advanced plan, Shopify Plus caters to merchants with higher-volume sales and offers additional functionality, scalability and support requirements, including a dedicated Merchant Success Manager. Tesla, Nestle, GE, Red Bull and Kylie Cosmetics are among the approximately 2,500 Shopify Plus merchants seeking a reliable, cost-effective and scalable commerce solution.

21 -Revenue from subscription solutions is generated through the sale of subscriptions to its platform as well as from the sale of themes, apps and the registration of domain names. The company's merchants typically enter into monthly subscription agreements. As described in the "Key Components of Results of Operations," the revenue from these agreements is recognized ratably over the relative period and therefore Shopify has deferred revenue on its balance sheet. The company do not consider this deferred revenue balance to be a good indicator of future revenue. Instead, the company believe Monthly Recurring Revenue ("MRR") is most closely correlated with the long-term value of its merchant relationships. Subscription solutions revenues increased from $112.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to $188.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, representing an increase of 68.4%. As of December 31, 2016, MRR totaled $18.5 million, representing an increase of 62.9% relative to MRR at December 31, 2015. A detailed description of this metric is presented below in the section entitled, “Key Performance Indicators.”
22 22  
23 -The company offer a variety of merchant solutions that are designed to add value to its merchants and augment its subscription solutions. During the year ended December 31, 2016, merchant solutions revenues accounted for 51.6% of total revenues (45.4% in the year ended December 31, 2015). The company principally generate merchant solutions revenues from payment processing fees from Shopify Payments. Shopify Payments is a fully integrated payment processing service that allows its merchants to accept and process payment cards online and offline. Beginning with the launch of Shopify Payments in 2013, Shopify has seen significant growth in the revenues generated from its merchant solutions. In addition to payment processing fees from Shopify Payments, the company also generate merchant solutions revenue from transaction fees, Shopify Shipping, Shopify Capital, referral fees from partners, and sales of point-of-sale ("POS") hardware. The company's merchant solutions revenues are directionally correlated with the level of GMV that its merchants process through its platform. Merchant solutions revenues increased from $93.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2015, to $200.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, representing an increase of 115.2%.
22 +A multi-channel front end. The company's software enables merchants to easily display, manage, and sell their products across over a dozen different sales channels, including web and mobile storefronts, physical retail locations, pop-up shops, social media storefronts, native mobile apps, buy buttons, and marketplaces. More than two-thirds of its merchants use two or more channels. The Shopify application program interface ("API") has been developed to support custom storefronts that let merchants sell anywhere, in any language.{{footnote}}https://s27.q4cdn.com/572064924/files/doc_financials/2020/ar/40-F.pdf{{/footnote}}
24 24  
25 -The company's business model is driven by its ability to attract new merchants, retain existing merchants and increase sales to both new and existing merchants. The total number of merchants using its platform grew from more than 243,000 as of December 31, 2015 to more than 377,500 as of December 31, 2016. As at December 31, 2016, its merchants were geographically dispersed as follows: United States of America, 58%; United Kingdom, 10%; Canada, 7%; Australia, 7%; and the rest of the world, which represents approximately 175 countries, 18%. The company's merchants represent a wide array of retail verticals and business sizes and no single merchant has ever represented more than five percent of its total revenues in a single reporting period. The company believe that its future success is dependent on many factors, including its ability to expand its merchant base, retain merchants as they grow their businesses on its platform, offer more sales channels that can connect to the platform, develop new solutions to extend the functionality of its platform, enhance its ecosystem and partner programs, provide a high level of merchant service and support, and hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel. As of December 31, 2016, Shopify had more than 1,900 employees and consultants.
26 26  
27 -Shopify has focused on rapidly growing its business and plan to continue making investments to drive future growth. The company believe that its investments will increase its revenue base, improve the retention of this base and strengthen its ability to increase sales to its merchants. If Shopify is unable to achieve its revenue growth objectives, the company may not be able to achieve profitability.
25 +A single integrated back end. The company's software provides one single integrated, easy-to-use back end that merchants use to manage their business and buyers across these multiple sales channels. Merchants use their Shopify dashboard, which is available in 20 languages, to manage products and inventory, process orders and payments, fulfill and ship orders, discover new buyers and build customer relationships, source products, leverage analytics and reporting, and access financing.
28 28  
27 +
28 +A data advantage. The company's software is delivered to merchants as a service, and operates on a shared infrastructure. With each new transaction processed, the company grow its data proficiency. This cloud-based infrastructure not only relieves merchants from running and securing their own hardware, it also consolidates data generated by the interactions between buyers and merchants’ shops, as well as those of its merchants on the Shopify platform, providing rich data to inform both its own decisions as well as those of its merchants.

31 +== Merchants ==
32 +
33 +The company's mission is to make commerce better for everyone, and the company believe the company can help merchants of nearly all retail verticals and sizes, from aspirational entrepreneurs to large enterprises, realize their potential at all stages of their business life cycle. The company's marketing efforts primarily focus on selling to small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) and entrepreneurs while its direct sales team addresses the needs of large merchants. The large majority of its merchants are on subscription plans that cost less than $50 per month, which is in line with its focus on providing cost-effective solutions for early stage businesses.
34 +
35 +As of December 31, 2020, the company had approximately 1,749,000 merchants from approximately 175 countries using its platform, geographically dispersed as follows: 56% North America (50% in the United States and 6% in Canada), 25% Europe Middle East and Africa (8% in the United Kingdom), 15% Asia Pacific, Australia and China (6% in Australia) and 4% in Latin America (Mexico and South America).

38 +== Offerings ==
39 +
40 +The company's business model has two revenue streams: a recurring subscription component the company call subscription solutions, and a merchant success-based component the company call merchant solutions.
41 +
42 +
43 +=== Subscription Solutions ===
44 +
45 +The company generate subscription solutions revenues primarily through the sale of subscriptions to its platform, including variable platform fees, as well as through the sale of subscriptions to its Point-of-Sale ("POS") Pro offering, the sale of themes, the sale of apps, and the registration of domain names.
46 +
47 +
48 +=== Merchant Solutions ===
49 +
50 +The company offer a variety of merchant solutions to augment those provided through a subscription to address the broad array of functionality merchants commonly require, including accepting payments, shipping and fulfillment, and securing working capital. The company believe that offering merchant solutions creates additional value for merchants, saving them time and money by making additional functionality available within a single centralized commerce platform, and creates additional value for Shopify by increasing merchants’ use of its platform.
51 +
52 +The company principally generate merchant solutions revenues from payment processing fees from Shopify Payments. In addition to payment processing fees from Shopify Payments, the company also generate merchant solutions revenue from other transaction fees, referral fees from partners, advertising revenue on the Shopify App Store, Shopify Capital, Shop Pay Installments, Shopify Shipping, Shopify Fulfillment Network, the sale of POS hardware and collaborative warehouse fulfillment solutions, and Shopify Email.
53 +
54 +
55 +== Seasonality ==
56 +
57 +The company's merchant solutions revenues are directionally correlated with the level of GMV that merchants facilitated through its platform. The company's merchants typically process additional GMV during the fourth quarter holiday season. As a result, Shopify has historically generated higher merchant solutions revenues in its fourth quarter than in other quarters. While the company believe that this seasonality has affected and will continue to affect its quarterly results, its rapid growth has largely masked seasonal trends to date, as has the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. As revenue from its merchant solutions offerings has grown faster than revenue from subscription solutions, its business may become more seasonal in the future and historical patterns in its business may not be a reliable indicator of its future performance.

68 +“This past year has been one of great uncertainty for independent merchants. What used to be two completely distinct industries, the retail industry and the online commerce industry, are now just the commerce industry. In this new reality, its goal at Shopify is clearer than ever: the company want to give entrepreneurs around the world the best chance to create their own certainty, to reach for independence and to seize opportunity that they uniquely see.

The company built on its momentum, making significant updates to its platform infrastructure, expanding strategic partnerships, and advancing its portfolio of growth initiatives to future-proof the success of tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.”
71 +
72 +
73 +**Second-Quarter Financial Highlights**
74 +
75 +* Total revenue in the second quarter was $1,119.4 million, up 57% year over year.
76 +* Subscription Solutions revenue was $334.2 million, up 70% year over year, primarily due to more merchants joining the platform.

Growth accelerated to 67% year-over-year with MRR up from $57.0 million as of June 30, 2020 as more merchants joined the platform and the number of retail locations using POS Pro increased. Shopify Plus contributed $25.2 million, or 26%, of MRR compared with 29% of MRR as of June 30, 2020 as a result of the significantly higher number of merchants on standard plans joining the platform in the past 12 months and new incremental revenue from its Retail POS Pro subscription offering

87 +
88 +
89 +== Outlook ==
90 +
91 +The company's outlook for the remainder of 2021 is consistent with its assumptions in February.

92 +
93 +In view of these factors and Shopify’s performance for the six months ending June 30, 2021, the company continue to expect to grow revenue rapidly in 2021, but at a lower rate than in 2020.
