These figures are recomputed from live detection daily, so quote the date you accessed the page alongside the citation. For the definitions behind every number, see how we measure.

How this data works

Every figure comes from live detection: we scan Shopify storefronts, read the theme and apps each one actually runs, and classify the store by product category and business model. We report what is currently detected, not historical installs or Theme Store download counts.

Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
