Shopify, the platform chosen by 10% of the global e-commerce software market, has established itself as the benchmark for businesses looking for a robust, scalable, and secure platform to boost their online presence.
At Acid Labs, we not only recognize Shopify's relevance in this sector, but we are also witnessing the impact it is having on enterprise e-commerce.
We recently had the privilege of attending a Shopify event in New York, where we could learn about the new Shopify Plus applications and their expansion into the e-commerce world, and network with other industry leaders. As part of the Shopify Plus Fast Track Partner Program, we were honored to represent Chile as the only company from this country invited to the event.
