Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K was filed by Shopify Inc. on April 9, 2018, covering the month of April 2018. The filing serves as a report of a foreign private issuer and includes several exhibits related to the company's 2017 performance and shareholder communications.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text itself does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. Instead, it references the inclusion of the "Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017" as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.4, respectively.

Material Changes
