Note: the store counts displayed in this section only include stores that are still currently active (rather than actual historical store counts). Historical data is available through our API on the Elite or Enterprise plan.

It's hard to know exactly when a Shopify store was first created but we use a heuristic that includes historical DNS data which provides a reasonable approximation.
