Shopify,
the eCommerce platform out of Canada, has inked a deal with eBay to
enable merchants to sell directly through eBay. The eBay integration
will first be available for U.S. customers selling in U.S. currency.
When
the company inked a deal with Amazon back in 2015, that was similar in
nature. Shares surged on the news, noted the report. Shopify’s strategy
has long been to integrate with as many eCommerce channels it can so
that its customers can diversify away from their own website. Shopify
provides merchants with payment tools, shipping services and small
loans.
Unlike Amazon and eBay, which build
marketplaces, Shopify provides tools for merchants to sell their
products online and offers point-of-sale software and hardware for
physical retailers. Through high-level subscription plans, Shopify is
enabling retail merchants to continually grow with changing needs.

2015年，该公司与亚马逊签署了一项协议，这在本质上是类似的。该报道称，消息传出后，股价大幅上涨。长期以来，Shopify的战略一直是与许多电子商务渠道整合，以便其客户可以在自己网站的基础上实现多样化。Shopify向商人提供支付工具、航运服务和小额贷款。
与亚马逊和eBay不同，Shopify为商家提供了在线销售产品的工具，并为实体零售商提供了销售点软件和硬件。通过高水平的订阅计划，Shopify让零售商人能够根据需求不断成长。
