Apps listed in each Shopify App Store category, as each category page states it, October 18, 2026
- Counts are as each category page stated them on October 18, 2026.
- An app can sit in several categories, so the counts do not add up to the App Store total.
- Dropshipping (608 apps) and Print on demand (364) are in the data table but not drawn, because Deploi groups them as sourcing models; Shopify also lists Wholesale under sourcing options, and Deploi draws it.

Methodology
Caveats: Apps listed per Shopify App Store category, October 18, 2026
- An app can sit in several categories and is counted on each page, so the counts do not add up to the App Store total and no total is published.
- Counts are as each category page stated them on October 18, 2026 and change as apps are listed or removed.
- The group column is set by Deploi: dropshipping and print on demand supply products and are marked sourcing; the others are marked capability.
- The ratio of the largest to the smallest category on the story page is computed by Deploi.
