The Ottawa company known for helping merchants sell online made a major purchase of its own just before one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.
Shopify has acquired another company in the e-commerce space, Sweden’s Tictail, which operates a marketplace for emerging brands to sell clothing, decor and other lifestyle products. Founded in 2012, Tictail has raised more than $30 million in venture capital to date, according to Crunchbase.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
