Widget Placement Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Koin Store Credit & Rewards holds the top spot for widget placement with 39.8% market share, but the gap to challengers is closing, -4.4pp ahead of Frequently Bought Together CBB (44.3%). DP: Deposit & Partial Payment sits at #3 with 9.5% share, rounding out the top tier. Together, the top 3 apps absorb 93.6% of all widget placement installs — a highly concentrated landscape with limited room for new entrants. DP: Deposit & Partial Payment is the standout mover this month, climbing 3 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.

Koin Store Credit & Rewards leads at 39.8%, only -4.4pp ahead of Frequently Bought Together CBB (44.3%), with rankings stable this month. When the top two widget placement apps demonstrate similar real-world adoption, fit-for-store usually matters more than rank — comparing pricing model, integration depth, and support hours separates them better than the share gap does.

Koin Store Credit & Rewards climbed from #2 (May 2026) to #1 (Nov 2026) — a 1-position gain among widget placement apps over the charted window. Across the top 5 plotted widget placement apps, 3 improved their ranking while 1 declined — the category is moving upward overall. Koin Store Credit & Rewards's share held near 39.8% from May 2026 to Nov 2026 — a stable install base for widget placement apps rather than active gain or loss.

Stable rankings across the top 5 plotted widget placement apps mean merchants have largely settled on their preferences — challengers below the top 5 face an uphill path to break in.

United States dominates demand for widget placement apps with 22.3% of all tracked installs — a single market that effectively defines the category's product priorities. Brazil follows at 6.8%, with United Kingdom at 6.5%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 35.7% of widget placement app installs worldwide. France (5.3%) and Italy (4.5%) round out the top 5. Italy is the fastest-growing market this month (+2.2pp), pointing to accelerating demand outside the established leaders.

With 22.3% of widget placement app installs concentrated in United States, the leading apps in this category typically prioritize United States-based merchants for localization, currency, and support hours — merchants in Brazil (6.8%) and other regions sometimes find better fit in apps that over-index outside United States.

Frequently Bought Together CBB is the only app in this set to have crossed 1,000 reviews, reaching the milestone in 109 months since launch. The remaining 4 widget placement apps tracked here are still building toward 1,000 — current cumulative review counts give the clearest picture of where each one stands today.

4 apps on this chart haven't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: Koin Store Credit & Rewards at 179, Downpay: Partial Pay & Deposit at 98, K1 PreOrder Now & Deposit at 46, DP: Deposit & Partial Payment at 26 cumulative reviews. Koin Store Credit & Rewards is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 18% of the way to 1,000.

Frequently Bought Together CBB is the only app in this set to have crossed 1,000 reviews so far — a useful signal for merchants that one app has already proved sustained adoption while the others remain in the "promising but unproven" tier of the widget placement category.
