Shopify, the Ottawa-based e-commerce company, reported a 32% increase in total revenue for the third quarter of 2025, reaching $2.84 billion USD. The company’s Q3 performance exceeded expectations, surpassing the FactSet consensus estimate of $2.73 billion and marking the highest quarterly gross merchandise value (GMV) growth since the pandemic boom in 2021.

The company’s net income for the quarter was $264 million, which was affected by markdowns and increased operating expenses related to AI investments and marketing costs. Shopify continues to focus on expanding its AI capabilities and international growth, with recent partnerships like the one with OpenAI to allow merchants to sell through ChatGPT. The company remains committed to balancing profitability and investment in future growth, with projections for steady revenue growth in the upcoming quarters.
