Shopify

Ecommerce · 51+ · Canada

Shopify wins when its merchants win. GMV (gross merchandise volume) captures that alignment in one number. Tools, apps, payments and capital products are all judged by whether they grow merchant GMV. Shopify revenue is a function of GMV, not separate from it.

Stripe

Fintech · 51+ · United States

Stripe's value is directly proportional to dollars moving through the pipes. Payment volume (not accounts, not API calls, not merchants) is the honest measure of whether customers trust Stripe to handle real money. Every product (Billing, Issuing, Atlas, Connect) is judged by whether it grows this number.
