E-commerce platform Shopify Inc. listed a New York headquarters in a US regulatory filing for the first time, stoking speculation about a US move amid anxiety in Canada about capital flight south of the border.
They're anti-tax and pro-tarif. They've been firing Canadian support workers and devs for years and outsourcing overseas. And they've been hiding money in places like Ireland (a tax haven) by opening hubs there.
They are only still in Canada on paper at this point anyhow. Fuck them, go hang out with the wall street bros.
I don't know about a Canadian alternative, but PrestaShop is French, headquartered in France.
I haven't had the time to dig too much into it, but it at also seems open source.
I imagine they might have something extra to sell on top of that for revenue.
I have no experience with it whatsoever but it seemed worth a second look.
