Shopify (SHOP), the all-in-one platform to start, run, and grow a business, has proven to be a force in the e-commerce industry.
Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, Shopify powers over 1 million businesses in more than 175 countries and is trusted by brands such as Allbirds, Gymshark, PepsiCo, Staples, and many more according to company reports.
Over the years, Shopify has stuck closely to its vision of breaking down the barriers to starting, running, and growing an online business through a full suite of turnkey services including payments, marketing, shipping, and customer engagement tools to simplify the process of running an online store.

Microsoft Stock, Shopify Stock Among Tech Leaders In Buy Range From Bullish Rebounds |
After leading stocks break out and go on a run, eventually they'll take a breather and fall back to their 50-day or 10-week moving average . This is often a place where mutual funds and other big institutions will add shares. As long as the current stock market rally is intact and the 50-day line is above the prior buy point, investors can consider it a possible buying opportunity. Watch a stock closely to make sure it finds support. Leading stocks often do.
In Friday's stock market action , as the Nasdaq composite fell hard early on, Microsoft stock, Shopify stock, Snap stock, Datadog stock and CrowdStrike stock all fell to their 50-day or 10-week lines — or within a whisker of them. SHOP stock and Snap stock rallied to close higher Friday, but all of these names are actionable. For several of them, it's the first clear buying opportunity since their breakouts earlier in the coronavirus stock market rally.
Shopify to the rescue
This case of sandwich sadness has a happy ending. A University of Georgia student was munching on a sub while taking an online exam. A rogue meatball landed on her keyboard, logging her out and giving her a failing grade. She appealed to her professor, who allowed her a retake, sans sub.

This is only a slight exaggeration: Back in March, Shopify saved 15k gallons of Toronto beer from going down the drain.
4 ways to speed up your Shopify site
Page speed is a Google ranking factor , but its influence isn't limited to your organic visibility. For e-commerce sites, speed is always a concern because low page load times improve the user experience and, in turn, conversion rates.

E-commerce sites are typically image-heavy, which can slow down page load times if product photos or other graphics aren't compressed. JPEG images generally have a smaller file size than PNGs, which are a better format when you require a transparent background. Scaling your images down to the appropriate size can also decrease file size and shave off some page load time.

Buy on Google goes commission-free, will enable checkout via PayPal, Shopify
Earlier this year, Google surprised merchants by opening up the Google Shopping tab in its search results to free product listings . Now for the next phase of the shakeup: commission-free access to Buy on Google, the company’s native checkout from product listings. It is also integrating with third-parties to make it easier for merchants to streamline order management and payments.
Why we care . The combined moves of making Google Shopping and Buy on Google checkout free for retailers will make it much more accessible to a wider range of sellers than other marketplaces. Not charging a commission is a significant differentiator for Google Shopping from other marketplaces — most significantly Amazon, which charges fees typically ranging from 8 to 15% per item sold.

Are we entering another tech bubble? Obviously, this debate has been back and forth for years. People have been calling for stocks like Amazon ( AMZN ), Netflix ( NFLX ), and Tesla ( TSLA ) to fall for the last decade. Typically, the arguments were rudimentary and would say they aren't worth their current P/E ratios. The problem with those bearish arguments was that these companies still had high growth runways of decades, not years, so the valuations made sense.
