According to BeInCrypto, Shopify (SHOP) reported its second-quarter earnings on August 5, with revenue rising 34% year-over-year to $3.58 billion, surpassing market expectations by $140 million. The company also raised its third-quarter guidance, causing its stock to surge 17% that day. Previously, the market had widely feared that "Vibe Coding" (an AI-powered natural language programming tool) would enable small and medium-sized businesses to bypass Shopify and build their own e-commerce systems, threatening its business model. In response, CNBC host Jim Cramer publicly criticized this logic, pointing out that small and medium-sized businesses generally lack the capability to build and maintain their own software, and AI tools cannot change this reality. Shopify President Harley Finkelstein also responded, stating that the AI wave is driving a surge of new entrepreneurs into the market, and the increase in new stores is bringing Shopify more potential customers: "AI is creating customers, not reducing them."
