But the truth is far more interesting. Some of the biggest, most recognisable brands on the planet quietly run their online stores on Shopify. From a company worth over a trillion dollars to the BBC, the platform has become the backbone of global e-commerce — regardless of company size. Here are 10 that might genuinely surprise you

Nestlé Nescafé – FMCG / Beverage

Nestlé, one of the world’s largest food and beverage conglomerates, runs the Nescafé DTC store on Shopify. This is a significant signal — a 150-year-old CPG giant with revenues exceeding $90 billion chose Shopify as the foundation for its direct-to-consumer coffee channel. The Nescafé store allows Nestlé to own the customer relationship directly, bypassing traditional retail, and collect first-party data in an increasingly cookie-less world.

Kylie Jenner launched her Lip Kit in 2015 and famously crashed her Shopify store within minutes of going live.

Gymshark – Fitness Apparel
NOIR & BLANCO

Perhaps the most iconic Shopify success story of them all. Gymshark was founded in a garage in Birmingham in 2012 by a 19-year-old with a sewing machine and a screen printer. By leveraging fitness influencers before that was a strategy anyone talked about, Gymshark grew from a side project to a brand valued at over $1.3 billion — entirely on Shopify. It remains one of the platform’s most quoted examples of what’s possible when brand identity meets digital-first distribution.

From a garage to a $1.3B valuation — the definitive Shopify growth story that every brand founder should read.

What does this list tell us? Shopify is no longer just a platform for startups. When Netflix, Tesla, and Nestlé are all running stores on the same infrastructure as a brand launching today, the playing field has fundamentally changed. The platform is the equaliser — what you do with it is entirely up to you.
