More details about Shopify Counter

Product description

Install the app, connect your store to Shopify Counter, and highlight your sales and orders like never before. Bring some of your important numbers front and center with the app made for your business needs.

AI summary

The app integrates with physical counters to display real-time sales data from Shopify stores, offering features like tracking daily or lifetime orders and syncing with external devices. Its strengths include faster update speeds and improved multi-counter management in the updated version, with some users reporting reliable performance after troubleshooting. However, the app has significant weaknesses, particularly in the transition from the older version, including frequent errors during setup, incorrect sales calculations (such as failing to exclude refunds or unpaid orders), and inconsistent synchronization with counters. Many users encountered difficulties locating required credentials (counter ID and token) and experienced persistent bugs, such as counters not resetting or displaying inaccurate values. While some workarounds exist, the app’s reliability depends heavily on manual adjustments, and the lack of clear instructions complicates setup. The forced migration from the older, more stable version has been a recurring pain point.

Love it. I display sales YTD and it's incredibly motivtional!

★★★★★Econea.czfrom Czechia · 3 October 2025

Works like charm. Cant see why there are so bad reviews.

★★★★★deinfriseur.defrom Germany · 12 May 2025

It works if i do that: finally got this to work by completely uninstalling the app in Shopify and starting again. The interesting thing is it started to work after I put the name of the counter in the Shopify app different to what it's called on the Smiirl webpage. Maybe that did the trick, maybe it didn't.

★★★★★The English Cyclistfrom United Kingdom · 28 March 2025

Was a bit hit and miss but the new app seems to have made things more robust. Thanks!

★★★★★PowerBlockfrom United States · 20 March 2025

The new app works great, easier to manage multiple counters. Would have been nice to get some help in the app for how to get the counter ID and token. If you're trying to set it up, the counter ID and Token in Smiirl need to be changed to the PUSH NUMBER settings. You'll get the token and counter ID.

    Please bring back custom date ranges! My viewers are always asking how many orders I got during a big product launch. I used to be able to select a custom range, and the feature was removed. Also, your "Get Support" button doesn't work, so I have to communicate this via review.

We hope this makes the experience much more useful for you and your viewers.We also sincerely apologize that the "Get Support" button wasn't working. This has been flagged to our team.

    I also had trouble with the new app but ColorMeCarole's solution works- Go to your Smirll account- Switch "OPTIONS" from JSON to PUSH NUMBER. - within these settings you'll find your "Counter ID" and "Counter Token" - randomly input a number in the display field and hit "SAVE" (your counter should start updating to display whichever number you inputed)- Go back to your SHOPIFY Counter app within Shopify. - Setup the counter with your "ID and TOKEN" numbers. - Select "Display orders for today" and hit SAVE.Somehow after doing those steps above it FINALLY worked for me, didn't give me a single error and my counter works the way it did before when using the old app. Then I switched the app settings to show Most Recent Order Number and BAM, it works great!

About ShopDigest

The Shopify ecosystem, shown through the work

ShopDigest is an independent directory of Shopify work. Developers, agencies and experts publish the projects they’ve actually shipped — migrations, rebuilds, custom apps, headless storefronts — with the results attached.

For merchants, that means judging a partner on evidence instead of a sales page: browse real builds in your category and budget, then reach out directly. For builders, it means one profile that keeps working after the project ships.

No commissions, no pay-to-rank placements. The best work rises because people save and follow it.
