Shopify Inc. reported sales and profit for the third quarter that beat analyst expectations after the Canadian e-commerce giant slashed costs and partnered with Amazon.com Inc. for its fulfillment network.

Revenue for the period came in at $1.71 billion, up about 25% year-over-year and beating the $1.68 billion average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding one-time items, was 24 cents a share, well above the 15 cents expectation.
