How this data works

Every figure in this report comes from live storefront detection: we scan Shopify stores and record the theme and apps each one runs, then compute shares across 3,500,000+ stores, refreshed daily. We measure what stores run, not revenue, traffic, or order volume.

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 →
