On Dec. 1, Shopify said brands using its platform sold $5.1 billion from Black Friday to Cyber Monday , marking a 76% increase over 2019. This followed its Q2 and Q3 earnings, which were up 97% and 96%, respectively.
Since it was founded in 2006, Shopify has made a name for itself as an off-the-shelf solution for more than a million brands selling goods online, including direct-to-consumer (DTC) darlings such as Allbirds, Brooklinen and Rothy's. After conquering the DTC world, Shopify set its sights on bigger brands including Heinz and Molson Coors following the launch of its enterprise platform, Shopify Plus, in 2014.

Shopify (TSX:SHOP) vs Lightspeed (TSX:LSPD): Which Tech Giant is Better?
E-commerce is booming. The industry was growing at an incredible pace anyway, but its pace has been expedited during the pandemic. Retail businesses tried to build their e-commerce fronts during the pandemic in order to stay operational, and e-commerce platforms saw their popularity rising.
The year-to-date price return of Lightspeed is 111%. So if someone had bought the company when 2020 started, oblivious of the impending market crash when the stock fell over 73%, they would have doubled their money by now. But if you had bought the company when it hit rock bottom in March, you’d have grown your capital by 534% by now.
