Shopify is one of the leading eCommerce platforms available in the market today and has earned itself the rightful place as one of the most sought-after ecommerce solution required by online businesses. Shopify has been consistent with its new releases and tidy updates due to which businesses still continue to adopt it as their eCommerce solution.
Shopify has arranged, hosted and has been involved in a number of international eCommerce events. This time, in 2017, it was time for India to be the part of the ever-growing Shopify community and help in contributing towards better and innovative ways for online businesses.
