  • Counts are mobile origins, websites with enough Chrome traffic to appear in the Chrome UX Report, on which HTTP Archive detects the platform; they are not counts of stores.
  • HTTP Archive's crawl and detection can change between crawls, so a step between two crawls is not necessarily new sites.
  • The gap narrowed from 310,129 origins in January 2024 to 101,407 in September 2026; computed by Deploi.
  • Desktop counts, in the data table, also fell for WooCommerce and rose for Shopify between January 2024 and September 2026.
  • The last step runs from July to September 2026, two months, where earlier steps are six months.

Methodology

Reading the chart: WooCommerce fell from 655,994 sites in January 2024 to 553,677, while Shopify rose to 452,270

  • Counts are mobile origins, websites with enough Chrome traffic to appear in the Chrome UX Report, on which HTTP Archive detects the platform; they are not counts of stores.
  • HTTP Archive's crawl and detection can change between crawls, so a step between two crawls is not necessarily new sites.
  • The gap narrowed from 310,129 origins in January 2024 to 101,407 in September 2026; computed by Deploi.
  • Desktop counts, in the data table, also fell for WooCommerce and rose for Shopify between January 2024 and September 2026.
  • The last step runs from July to September 2026, two months, where earlier steps are six months.

Caveats: Shopify and WooCommerce origins detected by HTTP Archive, January 2020 to September 2026

  • Counts are origins, websites with enough Chrome traffic to appear in the Chrome UX Report, on which HTTP Archive detects the platform. They are not counts of stores or merchants.
  • HTTP Archive's crawl and detection can change between crawls, so a step between two crawls is not necessarily new or lost sites.
  • Mobile and desktop origins are separate counts of the same crawl and are not added together.
  • Figures marked computed by Deploi on the story page are WooCommerce origins minus Shopify origins for the gap, the later count divided by the earlier count, minus 1, for change, and WooCommerce origins divided by Shopify origins for the ratio.
  • The crawls shown are each January and July from 2020 and September 2026; months in between are not in the dataset.
