How many live Shopify sites are there, measured independently of Shopify?

How many Shopify sites does an independent crawl see?

HTTP Archive detected Shopify on 60,749 mobile origins in January 2020, 184,533 in January 2022, 345,865 in January 2024 and 452,270 in September 2026, a rise in every January and July crawl shown. The crawl is independent of Shopify and counts websites with enough Chrome traffic to appear in the Chrome UX Report.

How fast has the measured count grown?

The measured Shopify count more than doubled from 60,749 mobile origins in January 2020 to 123,370 in July 2020 and reached 152,253 in January 2021, according to HTTP Archive. From January 2024 it rose from 345,865 to 375,794 in January 2025, 414,540 in January 2026 and 452,270 in September 2026.

Does the 452,270 count mean 452,270 Shopify stores?

No. The 452,270 is the number of mobile origins HTTP Archive detected as Shopify in September 2026, among websites with enough Chrome traffic to appear in the Chrome UX Report. A store appears only once it has that much traffic, and one merchant can run more than one origin.

Why can the line step up or down between crawls?

HTTP Archive's crawl and detection can change between crawls, so a step between two crawls is not necessarily new sites. The Shopify series jumped from 60,749 mobile origins in January 2020 to 123,370 in July 2020, a step to read with caution, and rose in every January and July crawl shown through September 2026.

How does the Shopify count compare with WooCommerce?

WooCommerce had more detected mobile origins than Shopify in every January and July crawl shown, 553,677 against 452,270 in September 2026, according to HTTP Archive. Among those crawls, WooCommerce peaked at 655,994 in January 2024 and has fallen since, while Shopify rose in each, from 345,865 in January 2024.

When should a Shopify store count be quoted?

Quote the HTTP Archive figure as a count of sites with measurable Chrome traffic, with its date: 452,270 mobile origins in September 2026. Do not describe it as the number of Shopify merchants or stores. A claim of millions of stores needs its own source, and none appears in this dataset.
