What's new in the world of ecommerce data

Shopify Plus Segmentation

We are now identifying Shopify stores that use Shopify Plus. Shopify Plus is the most flexible (and expensive) pricing plan offered by Shopify. To see the list of Shopify Plus stores, use our new Plan filter to segment the search results. New App Notifications. We're only able to identify Shopify Plus stores, so the remaining stores are labelled Unknown. Since we also track pricing plans for merchants using Square Online, you may also see other pricing plans listed if you have not segmented the search results to include only Shopify stores.

New App Notifications

New apps are being added to the Shopify App Store at an astonishing rate. 93 new apps were publishing in June 2018 alone. As great as the Shopify App Store is, it doesn't do a good job of showing newly published apps. There's a New and Noteworthy but it only includes apps a subset of apps. If you're working in the Shopify ecosystem, or specifically on Shopify apps, it's important to keep track of all new apps so that you are aware of the changing competitive landscape.

Segment Stores by App Installation Date

We've added the ability to segment stores by the date that the store installed a specific app. Start by filtering stores on a single installed app. Filter stores that have a specific app installed When you do this, a new column is added to the search results showing the date at which each store installed the app. App installed date in search results You also now have the option of sorting the search results by app installation date.

App Insights and Search

We've just added a few new features that give you more insight into the Shopify app ecosystem. The image below shows details for an app that was recently added to the Shopify App Store. App Details To access this information, you'll need to navigate to the Apps page through the menu. Menu Then click on any app to see details. You can also search for an app or use our filters to segment apps across the following dimensions: Shopify App Store category Created (the date at which the app was published in the App Store) App Vendor App Status App search filter on weekly creation date.

Social Media Followers

An active social media presence can have a large impact on the success of online stores. Many of the most popular stores have social media accounts with huge number of followers. We've updated our store ranking algorithm to include social media follower and post counts. This means that stores linked to popular and active social media accounts get a boost in our index. As part of this work, we've added the number of followers on social media accounts to the store details.
