Last updated on: August 1, 2026

Welcome to Shopify! By signing up for a Shopify Account (as defined in Section 1) or by using any Shopify Services (as defined below), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service").

As used in these Terms of Service, "we", "us", "our" and "Shopify" means the applicable Shopify Contracting Party (as defined in Section 13 below), and "you" means the Shopify User (if registering for or using a Shopify Service as an individual), or the business employing the Shopify User (if registering for or using a Shopify Service as a business) and any of its affiliates.

Shopify provides a complete commerce platform that enables merchants to unify their commerce activities. Among other features, this platform includes a range of tools for merchants to build and customize online stores, sell in multiple places (including web, mobile, social media, online marketplaces and other online locations ("Online Services") and in person ("POS Services")), manage products, inventory, payments, fulfillment, shipping, business operations, marketing and advertising, and engage with existing and potential customers. Any such service or services offered by Shopify are referred to in these Terms of Services as the "Service(s)". Any new features or tools which are added to the current Services will also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the current version of the Terms of Service at any time at https://shopify.com/legal/terms.

You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained or expressly referenced in these Terms of Service, including Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") and Privacy Policy, and, if applicable, the Supplementary Terms of Service for E.U. Merchants ("EU Terms"), the Shopify API License and Terms of Use ("API Terms") and the Shopify Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") before you may sign up for a Shopify Account or use any Shopify Service.

Everyday language summaries are provided for convenience only and appear in bold near each section, but these summaries are not legally binding. Please read the Terms of Service, including any document referred to in these Terms of Service, for the complete picture of your legal requirements. By using Shopify or any Shopify services, you are agreeing to these terms. Be sure to occasionally check back for updates.
