Which Companies Use Shopify?

Q: How many companies use Shopify?

Posting data cannot count merchants. It shows <0.5% of active postings naming Shopify, a minority of postings and a floor, because a store can run on Shopify for years without a posting mentioning it. For the merchant base, a website scan is the honest measure; for who is staffing Shopify work, the postings are.

Q: Which companies use Shopify?

As of 2026-09-09, employers with the most active postings naming Shopify include Leap, KittySpout, WATI.io, Base.com Brazil, Rippling. Some are merchants hiring store and ecommerce roles, others are agencies or software vendors that build for merchants. The role title on each posting says which group a company belongs to.

Q: Can a website scan detect a Shopify store?

Typically, yes. Shopify storefronts serve assets from Shopify's CDN and run checkout on Shopify hosts, which POST /v1/stack/scan reports with a confidence score. That finds merchants regardless of hiring. The scan does not see the agencies and app vendors that build on Shopify without running a store, which is where postings fill the gap.

Which companies use Shopify? Merchants, agencies and app vendors all post for it, and a website scan spots a store at once. Here is the list and method.

Which companies use Shopify? Two very different groups show up in job postings: merchants running their store on it, and the agencies, app vendors and logistics companies that build for those merchants. A website scan catches the first group at once; postings catch both. Here is the current list, the industry and size mix, and how to rebuild it.

The employers with the most active postings naming Shopify, as of 2026-09-09:

Leap
KittySpout
WATI.io
Base.com Brazil
Rippling
Nash
Sports Basement
Ashby
Fleek

Read the list with the two groups in mind. A posting naming Shopify can be a merchant hiring an ecommerce manager, an agency hiring a theme developer, or a software vendor whose product integrates with Shopify. The role title says which. The full list is on the companies using Shopify page.

How to find out which companies use Shopify

Scan the domain for a store. Call POST /v1/stack/scan with the merchant’s domain. A Shopify storefront is typically easy to detect, because its assets are served from Shopify’s CDN and its checkout runs on Shopify hosts. This finds merchants regardless of whether they are hiring.
Search postings for the teams. Call POST /v1/jobs/search with skills_or set to ["shopify"]. Expect ecommerce managers, Shopify developers, conversion specialists and operations roles, each with company and technology_slugs on the row. The slugs next to Shopify tell you the rest of the storefront stack, from the email platform to the analytics, without a second lookup.
Sort merchants from builders. Filter by isic_division_or: retail divisions return the merchants, software and advertising divisions return the agencies and vendors. job_title_or does the same job from the role side.
Cut by size. The chart below shows the size bands. Shopify postings lean towards smaller employers than most technologies JobsPipe tracks, which fits a platform built for merchants who do not run their own engineering. The wider stack around the storefront is on the tech stack of ecommerce companies page.
Keep it live. Rerun with discovered_at_gte. A merchant’s first posting for a Shopify developer often marks a replatforming or a move to a custom storefront, which is the moment agencies and app vendors want to know about.

Share of active postings naming Shopify, by employer industry (top five ISIC divisions) and by employer size band. Size bands omit postings whose employer headcount is unknown.

How this was measured

Measured from active postings on the ten collected boards whose text names the technology (deduplicated by posting id). Generated 2026-09-09. Shares only: JobsPipe publishes percentages, not counts.

A posting counts once per technology its text names. Industry is the ISIC Rev.4 division of the employer on each posting; size is the employer’s headcount band where known, so the size bars do not sum to 100%. Shares are cross-sectional for the current active set.

How many companies use Shopify? Postings put <0.5% of active listings on the ten collected boards naming it, a minority of postings and a floor rather than a count, since a store can run on Shopify for years without a single posting mentioning it. For the merchant base, the website scan is the honest measure; for who is staffing it, the postings are. Used together they answer the question an agency or app vendor actually has: not how many stores exist, but which merchants are investing in theirs right now.

Where JobsPipe fits

JobsPipe is a jobs data API that collects live postings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Y Combinator, Naukri, Workday, Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Ashby, Lever and Paylocity, returns them as one schema with closure tracking and a ghost score, and includes a free tier of 1,000 jobs a month. The merchant side of the list is one request against jobspipe.dev:

curl -X POST https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/jobs/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOBSPIPE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "skills_or": ["shopify"], "isic_division_or": ["47"], "status": "active", "limit": 100 }'

Swap the division for software to get the builders, and run the domain through the stack scan to confirm the storefront.
