=== Risks Related to Operations ===
Shopify's operations are complex. The company relies on a network of independent merchants, and it must ensure that these merchants are able to deliver products on time and in good condition. Shopify also relies on its website and payment processing systems, and any disruptions to these systems could hurt the company's business.

1. Inventory

It's worth noting that many of the independent shops on Shopify are based in the East. Each shop owner is self-employed, so it is difficult to have a mature delivering system like amazon. May face a series of problems such as tax problems, transaction fee, hoarding backlog, geopolitical events and even there are even small businesses that don't have physical storage. If the goods are not delivered in accordance with the specified time, this would lead to consumer disapproval of the entire Shopify platform.

2. Technology and payment

Shopify heavily depends on websites and payment processing to do business. Server failures, system interruption or other technical issues could hurt sales while a data breach or failure to protect customers’ payment information may leave the company exposed to penalties under consumer-protection laws, while also harming the brand’s finances and reputation.
