Q2 is in, and it was a monster quarter.
→ $116B in merchant sales, up 32% YoY
→ $3.6B revenue, up 34% YoY
→ $654M free cash flow, 18% margin
Five quarters running, GMV has grown more than 30%.
The bigger story is underneath the numbers: every shift AI is creating happens to play to @Shopify's strengths.

Amber and I both grew up around entrepreneurs, and it changed everything for us.
Every kid deserves to hear they can start something at any age. That's why I wrote We Can Be Entrepreneurs.

🇨🇦 🥇We are in the golden age of entrepreneurship, according to @harleyf on this week's The AmberMac Show.
As the child of entrepreneurs (alongside @jeffmacarthur), I so enjoyed this chat.
Get it in full on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts:

Some brands are so well known they don't need an introduction. @lululemon is one of them.
And today, Shop Pay is live on lululemon.com in the US and Canada.

Last week we shared the numbers from @Shopify’s Entrepreneur Effect report. Then people started sending me their stories.
Reading them is the best part of my job.
Never been a better time to be an entrepreneur.

Yesterday, we shared in our Community Forum what you should be doing to secure your apps and maintain merchant trust.
These are the steps you should take now:

Personal agents are THE story right now. The latest: @claudeai Duet.
Anyone can go from idea to Shopify store right in the chat. Then let Duet help run it.
Can't wait to see what this unlocks for new entrepreneurs.

Today marks 1 year of joining Shopify. The shift from startups to a large public company has been a thrilling learning adventure, but exciting as hell.
- Things move slow
- Bureaucratic process everywhere
- Decisions take forever
That's what I was warned it would be like. But here's how it actually is:
- Things move as fast as how great something can be
- Process is constantly questioned and trimmed
- Decisions are simply a DM away
Big things are happening and I'm excited about what's to come. This morning I joined @ridd_design for another dive club episode to talk about my experience in all this, and I'm so stoked to share our chat when it comes out in a few weeks.
Happy 1 year, Shopify. Thanks for having me around.

+1 to what Martin has in the thread below.
We take the role of maintaining the Shopify App Store seriously.
And that means we are constantly monitoring apps to ensure they meet our app store requirements and also ensuring that apps are secure for merchants and buyers.
The @Shopify App-ocalypse keeps escalating, with lists like this one showing 135 apps delisted, and counting.
It's easy to pile on, especially if you run apps in a vertical where competitors have been impacted.
But I think it's important to remember a few things:
The next generation of Canadian entrepreneurs is already here. Some of them are six.
“I think being an entrepreneur is like being a magician; you get to create something from nothing.” – @harleyf
We can teach the next generation to dream big & build ambitiously. That’s the Canadian way. 🇨🇦

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than listening to @harleyf and @lucyhargreaves4 inspire a room of kids to be entrepreneurs?!
Palestinian flags. Burning buildings. Looted stores. At a "student protest" about school conditions.
The cause changes. The chaos doesn't.
🇫🇷 Crazy footage from Limoges, France, right now.
The town hall is on fire with thick black smoke pouring out and flames right at the entrance, while the crowd just stands there watching.
These students keep wrecking public buildings and treating it like some kind of protest.
Zero respect for anything.
