- Net Income: $828 million (YoY +15%; QoQ +384%)
- Cash Flow Margin: 19%, a substantial increase of 300 basis points YoY.
- GMV Growth: 24% YoY, with strong contributions across all key regions.
- Operating Income: $283 million, more than double from Q3 2023.

Management highlighted that the increase in revenue was a result of increased penetration of their Shopify Payments product (62%) and a robust rise in international sales, up 33% YoY, particularly in European markets. Operating margins improved due to focused cost management despite a slight decline in gross margins from 52.6% to 51.7%, attributed mainly to changes in the revenue mix as Payments became a larger share of overall sales. The focus on automation and product enhancements continues to position Shopify as a leader in e-commerce solutions, aiming for high customer retention and satisfaction as noted by President Harley Finkelstein.
