Shopify wants to help you promote your products, not just sell them.

Dennis Hegstad, an angel investor, http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fcm.wtaff.co%2Ft%2Fj-l-ftukihk-iytuguttl-t%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNF-uBcnEFYx7wvsERCNGndTDpp5vg of what seems to be Shopify’s new advertising network.

How it will work: One of the screenshots shows Shopify inviting you to join their exclusive "data exchange" network, implying that this is related to Shopify's ecosystem of millions of websites. The company will probably “borrow'' the traffic of several reputable ad exchanges as well. Some people in the thread suggested that Shopify might partner with Google or Facebook.

It’s unclear where the ads will be shown. Or if there will be ads at all, or it’s just a data exchange between merchants. But if Shopify does this right, we could have another major acquisition channel on our hands. (Plus a nice boost to Shopify’s revenue.)
 
There was a reason why Shopify store owners had to give Shopify full access to their FB accounts, in order to continue using FB to track their stores. This makes a lot more sense now.

Curious as to where this goes next.

This is a welcomed development. Facebook hasn't been working for me very well

Yeah, it seems like every other $1 Billion business is getting into the ads & data business.
