S1 E11: Shopify Part 1: Harley Finkelstein Answers Your Shopify Questions

Welcome to the first of a very special 2-part interview with Harley Finkelstein, President of Shopify and the only guest to match Nik and Moiz’s deep DTC knowledge. Nik, Moiz and Harley get into how Harley started his first business to support his mom and sisters and why practicing law is the antithesis of entrepreneurship. The pair also ask the tough questions raised by Limited Supply listeners on Shopify’s functionality. Plus you’ll hear why strong partnerships are still a huge priority, how democratizing the entrepreneurial journey was just the start, and where Shopify’s ambitions are taking them. And if you’re looking to create an app for your brand, you need Tapcart. Using a drag and drop builder makes it super easy and you can be up running in days, rather than weeks. You’ll start seeing crazy high conversion rates and a push notification CTR that’s 7 X higher than email. Check out www.tapcart.com today.
