Is Shopify, Inc. SHOP stock halal to invest in?

Shopify Inc. is a leading e-commerce platform provider that enables individuals and businesses to set up online stores and manage their sales operations. Its primary function is to simplify the process of selling products online by offering a comprehensive suite of tools that includes inventory management, payment processing, and shipping solutions. Shopify serves a wide range of sectors, catering to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large-scale businesses seeking a streamlined online retail presence. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Shopify a Halal investment?

Is Shopify Shariah compliant?

Technology companies rarely fail AAOIFI screening on what they sell. Software, hardware and digital services are permissible business activities, so for a company like Shopify the Shariah question moves to the balance sheet: how much of its market value sits in interest bearing debt, how much of its cash earns Riba in conventional deposits, and whether incidental income from impermissible sources creeps past 5% of revenue. These are exactly the ratios AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 polices, and they move every month with the share price.

Does Shopify pass the business activity test?

Yes. In the September 2026 screening Shopify holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.

Is Shopify's income Halal?

Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Shopify's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 98.58% tells holders of SHOP what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.

Does Shopify meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has SHOP re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
