Ideal for merchants and growing online stores.
Reasoning
Both sources consistently frame the target audience around people selling online: terms like 'Merchants' appear directly and are reinforced by references to Shopify merchants, sellers of physical products, and e-commerce operations. While other terms like 'e-commerce businesses' or 'online stores' are broader, 'Merchants' best captures the core, recurring audience across the sources and aligns with Shopify's common terminology.
