History

In April 2017, Shopify announced the checkout feature called Shopify Pay. Later that same year, the company announced a new package tracking app, Arrive, which tracked customer orders from brands on the platform and other online shopping sources. Early in 2020, a rebranded Shop Pay button appeared on participating checkouts; later that spring, Arrive was rebranded as Shop. In 2024, Shop Pay expanded to other commerce platforms and no longer required businesses to be on Shopify to use it.
