Shopify Plus - What's the Vision?

Shopify has emerged anew in the direct-to-consumer era. The 15-year-old e-commerce platform that powered the small business segment is worth $25 billion. Now, it's setting its sights on the larger brands. Hana Abaza, director of marketing at Shopify Plus, the division in Shopify that works with larger merchants, says the pitch is about distinguishing between control and ownership. Abaza discusses evolving as a platform to retain bigger brands as they grow, why the DTC companies are here to stay and more.
