We are changing the shape of Shopify significantly today to pay unshared attention to our mission. There are a number of consequences to this, and I don’t want to bury the lede: after today Shopify will be smaller by about 20% and Flexport will buy Shopify Logistics; this means some of you will leave Shopify today. I recognize the crushing impact this decision has on some of you, and did not make this decision lightly.
In the next 5 minutes you’ll get a follow up that tells you if you are affected. There’s no way to make this good news, but we designed a package that will attempt to make it the best possible version of a bad day. I've included details below on how we will support you.
