Every Shopify CRO audit, plan-tier business case, and competitive deck I write starts with the same hunt for the same dozen statistics. This tool puts them in one place, searchable, sourced, and one-click citable. No charts, no rounded-down marketing numbers, just the public-source figures with attributions intact. I use these numbers to size revenue leaks in my Shopify conversion leaks by dollar impact framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these statistics come from?
Public sources: Shopify quarterly earnings, Shopify Editions release notes, Baymard Institute checkout research, Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) public dashboards, Statista, Built With, Web Almanac, Klaviyo and Constructor industry reports, and academic GEO papers. Every stat links its source. Internal estimates from my own 100+ store audits are clearly labeled as ‘Kaspian Fuad audit data’ and not blended with third-party numbers.
How often is the dataset updated?
Weekly. A GitHub Action runs every Sunday and (a) bumps the dataset refresh timestamp shown at the top of the tool, (b) auto-pulls real Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) numbers for Shopify-origin Core Web Vitals stats via the Google CrUX API, and (c) opens a maintenance issue listing any stat older than 60 days for manual re-verification. Each card shows when it was last checked. Stats older than 60 days get a yellow verified-on badge so you can spot them at a glance before citing.
Can I use these stats in client decks and articles?
Yes. Click the citation icon on any stat to copy a properly formatted citation. The source link is always preserved. The dataset is curated for accuracy, not for novelty; numbers that disagree across sources (e.g., cart abandonment estimates ranging 65-80%) are reconciled to the most-cited figure with the source attached. If you need primary-source attribution, follow the link and cite the upstream.
Why no chart or graph view?
Most of these stats are point estimates from different sources, not time-series. A chart would be a lie. The tool keeps the data flat, sourced, and searchable so consultants and founders can grab a number and an attribution in two clicks without misreading a visual.
How do I find Shopify Markets statistics?
Use the Markets category chip or search for ‘Markets’ in the search bar. Stats include adoption rates, multi-currency AOV deltas, the EU/UK ecommerce baselines, and Shopify Markets feature usage from public sources. The Markets section is where the smallest sample sizes show up; treat those numbers as directional.
Is this tool helpful for Shopify CEOs and merchants specifically?
Yes. The most-used categories for that audience are Platform (sizing the opportunity), Conversion (knowing the floor), and Apps (knowing what ’too many apps’ actually means in numbers). Founders writing a Shopify Plus business case, agencies pitching a CRO retainer, and consultants building an RFP all need these numbers. The Statistics tool replaces a 4-tab Chrome session with one searchable dataset.
Does this tool track or store my searches?
No. All filtering runs in your browser; nothing is logged. There is no analytics on the search input itself. Open DevTools and watch the Network tab to confirm.
Need a developer to actually fix what this tool finds?
I rebuild Shopify Markets currency setups, eliminate hardcoded prices, and ship clean Liquid that converts across every region. Book a free 30-minute strategy call or read the Everly case study that inspired this tool.
