  • Shopify executives gather to open up the official launch of the new office space, which will house Shopify’s merchant platform team and its user experience team. Satish Kanwar, vice-president of product for Shopify, is at the mic.

  • Members of the Shopify team gather on the stairwell to hear company executives talk at the official opening of its new R&D office in Toronto.

  • Toronto Mayor John Tory opened up speeches at the launch of Shopify’s new R&D office in Toronto. The company plans to scale to 1,000 employees in the city by 2019.

  • Shopify has an open work space, but offers nooks and crannies for those looking for a quiet space to focus in.

  • Shopify’s VR team has released Thread Studio to the Steam platform, intended to demonstrate to merchants how VR could facilitate ecommerce experiences.

  • Kevin Donnelly, a content marketer that work on Frenzy, an app that allows merchants to promote on-sale items, poses with some sweet kicks in the main boardroom.

  • Shopify’s entrepreneur-in-residence Jane Lee set up this in-house ecommerce store that sells swag and also useful items that merchants need.

  • Along this hallway, there’s several smaller collaboration spaces where Shopify employees can practice peer pair programming, or host a videoconference.

  • The open and airy Shopify lunch room works well as a gathering space and offers napkins in branded dispensers.

  • A room dedicated to video games lets the staff take a break and engage with Xbox and Playstation games.

  • Of course, no self-respecting tech startup would go without a ping-pong table in its office. Shopify might be growing fast, but it seems it’s still connected to its startup culture.
