Tobias Lutke built the software in 2004 to sell snowboards online, found the storefront tools worse than the boards, and shipped the platform instead in 2006. The Ottawa company gives merchants hosted commerce plus payments, capital, and checkout, and earns more from merchant solutions than from subscriptions. A pandemic hiring surge reversed sharply in 2022, and the logistics arm assembled through Deliverr and 6 River Systems was sold to Flexport in 2023. Shopify runs remote-first and is one of the largest technology companies headquartered in Canada.

Equity comp at Shopify
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the SHOP position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current SHOP option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Shopify equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge SHOP stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and SHOP's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current SHOP option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Shopify grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Shopify typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Shopify RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Shopify restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
