2. How are retail Shopify apps ranked?
Rankings on this page reflect each app's position in Shopify's keyword search results for "retail", which Shopify computes from a mix of merchant install volume, review velocity, and recency. Apps beyond position #22 receive zero traffic in our market share calculation since merchants rarely scroll that far.

PML Stock Take Inventory Count has shown the strongest ranking momentum among retail apps, climbing 13 positions to #9 over the past 30 days. Sort the rankings table by Rank Change (Low to High) to surface the full set of recent gainers.
4. How often do retail app rankings change on Shopify?

6. How many retail apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 95 retail apps on the Shopify App Store. The full list is paginated in the table above — adjust the date range and sort order to drill into any window.
7. Why don't apps ranked beyond #22 show market share for retail?
For keyword pages, market share is rank-weighted: position #1 carries roughly 40× the weight of position #22, and apps beyond #22 receive zero weight. This reflects Shopify search behaviour — merchants almost never scroll past the top of the results, so positions further down don't translate to installs.
