Assessment

Both legs of the claim made by Harish Abbott in September 2025 are corroborated by official financial filings and market analysis. First, Shopify reported a full-year 2024 Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $292.28 billion (and a mid-2025 trailing twelve-month GMV of ~$326.75 billion), directly aligning with the stated '$250 billion to $300 billion' range. Second, Shopify's executive statements and independent industry research (such as Marketplace Pulse) confirmed that Shopify accounted for approximately 12% of total U.S. e-commerce GMV in 2024 (expanding to 14% in 2025).

Shopify reported full-year 2024 GMV of $292.28 billion in its Form 10-K filing on February 11, 2025, within the claimed $250B-$300B range.
Shopify President Harley Finkelstein confirmed on the Q4 2024 earnings call in February 2025 that Shopify held over 12% of the U.S. e-commerce market share.
Marketplace Pulse industry estimates published in February 2026 confirmed Shopify's U.S. e-commerce market share was 12% in 2024 and reached 14% in 2025.
