Filing receipts
“Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results Change in Revenue Mix As a result of the continued growth of Shopify Payments, referral fees, other transaction services and other services rendered as part of strategic partnerships and Shopify Capital, our revenues from merchant solutions have increased.”
“In connection with expanding our operations internationally, we anticipate a growing proportion of our revenues and cost of sales transactions to be incurred in foreign currencies as compared to USD due to increased Shopify Payments, Shopify Capital, subscriptions and other billings in select countries in local currency.”
“While our total revenues have increased in recent periods, the mix has shifted towards merchant solutions revenue, most notably in the fourth quarter due to higher order volumes facilitated during the holiday season and the resulting Shopify Payments revenue during this period.”
