Shopify To Establish Customer Service Relations In Ireland
Shopify has announced that it is to set up customer service relations in Ireland.
The firm also aims to hire up to 50 people by early 2016.
The announcement was made with the support of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
The new operations in Galway will allow the company to better serve their international merchants across any time zone. Headquartered in Canada, Shopify has over 600 employees and currently powers more than 165,000 stores in approximately 150 countries.
Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton said: "We have specifically targeted online industries as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and over the past four years we have seen major growth in this area. We can now justifiably call Ireland the internet capital of Europe. Today’s announcement that Shopify is opening operations in Galway and looking to hire up to 50 positions by 2016 is a great boost for the West, and a further great example of what is possible right across the country in this sector. I wish the team every success with this investment."
