Last November, the world's largest sporting goods company, Nike, announced it was leaving Amazon. It would yank all its products from Amazon.com and sell them exclusively on its online store.
Nike is the biggest retailer to break up with Amazon, but it's not the first. From mom-and-pop stores to retail giants, more than one million businesses are ditching Amazon and selling online independently.

Is Shopify one of the most expensive stocks on the face of the Earth? - Cantech Letter
After a spectacular 2019, what's in store for Canada's e-commerce success story Shopify ( Shopify Stock Quote, Chart, News TSX:SHOP )?
While the sky-high valuation should rightly frighten any sane investor, the truth is Shopify has what it takes to continue exceeding expectations.
That's the take from portfolio manager Bruce Murray, who thinks your portfolio should include a few riskier items like the Ottawa-based e-commerce player.
Shopify CEO: you don't have to work 80 hours a week to be successful
Tobias Lutke, founder and CEO of Canadian e-commerce company Shopify, says working 80 hours each week is not necessary for success.
"For creative work, you can't cheat. My (belief) is that there are 5 creative hours in everyone's day," Lutke said in a tweet on Thursday. "All I ask of people at Shopify is that 4 of those are channeled into the company."

The Shopify CEO shared his opinion in response to an ongoing conversation on Twitter, as some were debating whether working nights and weekends in addition to a standard day of work is necessary for success.
Shopify CEO says long hours aren't necessary for success - Business Insider
Tobi Lutke, the founder and CEO of $48 billion e-commerce cloud-software company Shopify, has a message for you this holiday: You don't need to work 80 hours a week to be successful.
"I realize everyone's twitter feed looks different. But I'll go ahead and subtweet two conversations that I see going by right now: a) How the heck did Shopify get so big this decade and b) You have to work 80 hours a week to be successful," he tweeted.
He says he and his cofounders have grown this company from a profitable bootstrap to its multibillion-dollar status without him ever sleeping under his desk.

Shopify Stock Readies to Leave Bears Behind as It Heads to $500 in 2020 | Nasdaq
Off and on the price chart, bears can plead their case for lower prices in Shopify (NYSE:) stock. But a more-thorough investigation looks to uproot that mistaken verdict and argues the grounds for buying SHOP today. Let me explain.

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and e-commerce growth upstart Shopify stock have been on a technical tear. But with their almost-200% gain in 2019, SHOP shares have left e-commerce peers in their dust, as compared with the 34% gain this year by the 40-stock Global X E-commerce ETF (NASDAQ:). Even a headline-grabber like Apple (NASDAQ:) can’t compare despite its own nearly 84% year-to-date gains. Nice, right?
Shopify Vs. Square: Buy This One Now - Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP) | Seeking Alpha
Shopify and Square have approached essentially the same business from two opposing angles, but their valuations have diverged significantly. I answer why.
The naysayers of both companies have been proven wrong and will continue to be proven wrong today, tomorrow, and into 2020s.
I provide an example of "The Noise", of which every investor should be wary when playing the contact sport of investing in stocks.
While an ideal capital split would be 50/50 between the two, valuations prevent me from recommending such an allocation at present. One is the obvious better buy.
Newsmaker of the decade — Shopify: ‘This is kind of blowing my mind’ | Ottawa
"The spark for a high-tech recovery in Ottawa-Gatineau could well be struck by a software company you've never heard of, in a place you wouldn't expect."
I wrote these words about Shopify and its ByWard market location in mid-November, 2011, when the capital region’s tech sector was still reeling from the collapse of Nortel Networks and the aftermath of the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Journalists should know better than to try predicting seminal shifts, but if you’re ever right in this business, you should let people know. And this time we were right. At least in terms of business, this past decade was very much the story of the e-commerce technology firm that transformed from a startup into one of the country’s most valuable firms.
