Original data studies and reference datasets about Shopify — each one built from a generated dataset, with its method, its official sources and the date every figure was last verified.

Open the datasetThese pages are not articles and do not own a topic: they publish the numbers and let the guides explain what the numbers mean. Every figure on them is generated from a dataset in this repository rather than typed into the page, so the page and the data behind it cannot drift apart.
