If Shopify makes ecommerce so simple (“no design skills needed”, “everything in one place”, and “perfect for beginners”), why do Shopify Partners and Experts need to exist?

A good question.

It’s a little like running an offline retail store. With the right budget, it’s simple to set up a shop and start selling something.

However, mastering the art of retail and becoming successful is another matter. It takes insight, know-how, and expertise from people who’ve “been there and done that” to get the best possible performance from a store.

Most successful entrepreneurs take professional help and advice from other successful people.

The e-commerce platform Shopify powers retail operations of all shapes and sizes, but it’s not just for small startup businesses as some believe. In fact, some of the biggest brands use Shopify to generate millions (and in some cases, billions) of dollars in annual revenue.

So who uses Shopify? Let’s look at 50 of the most successful brands (listed in no particular order) currently making big money on Shopify, and how the platform helped them generate such massive success.
