Shopify is a fully managed ecommerce platform widely adopted by Irish retailers, DTC brands, and multi-channel sellers. Shopify Payments is live in Ireland, supporting euro transactions, Irish card types, Apple Pay, and Google Pay without an external gateway. VAT handling covers the Irish standard (23%), reduced (13.5%), second reduced (9%), and zero rates, and the EU VAT One-Stop Shop workflow is supported for cross-border sales. Hosting, SSL, security patching, and updates are handled by Shopify. Pricing is in EUR for Irish accounts and starts around EUR 27 per month on the Basic plan, with Shopify Plus available for larger Irish brands that need multi-store and enterprise features. Shopify pairs naturally with Stripe, Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, and BrightBooks for Irish bookkeeping, and with BrightPay or Collsoft for payroll of any in-store staff.

Company facts
Shopify is the default Irish ecommerce platform for retailers and DTC brands that want to ship fast, take card and SEPA payments in Ireland, and hand bookkeeping off to Xero or Sage. The trade-off is thinner customisation than WooCommerce and mixed data residency that needs a GDPR-aware configuration. For Irish retailers with a physical shop, pair Shopify with Shopify POS for a single inventory and order system across channels.
