Selling In Person Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Point of Sale ranks #1 for selling in person with 0.1% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, -2.8pp ahead of Swym Wishlist Plus (2.9%). Progus Store Locator Map sits at #3 with 1.0% share, rounding out the top tier. The top 3 apps together hold only 4.1% — meaning selling in person is a fragmented market where lower-ranked apps still capture significant share. Point of Sale is the standout mover this month, climbing 14 positions — a momentum signal worth tracking. Worth noting: the top-ranked app and the highest-share app aren't the same here — App Store rank and our market share metric (computed from review counts and other factors) move on independent dynamics, so cross-checking both views matters in this category.

Selling In Person is a fragmented market — the top 3 apps together hold only 4.1% of installs, leaving Point of Sale's 0.1% lead modest in absolute terms and Progus Store Locator Map at 1.0% still capturing meaningful share. With this many viable apps, pricing model and integration depth differentiate selling in person options more than rank does.
