Shopify stores in New Zealand — Australia’s smaller twin, not a copy

13,138 stores. Dropship 3.2%. Median modeled revenue $231 — closer to India ($263) than to the US ($8). Apparel and electronics tie on the active list (395 each). Do not reuse the Australian H1. NZ has a higher median and a much shorter list; a 40-row pull is a decent slice of a vertical.

Same ocean, different floor

AU median $23, NZ median $231. AU mean $20.1k, NZ mean $13.6k. New Zealand’s tail is thinner: fewer zero-traffic shops survive in a 5-million-person market. Outdoor gear (127 active) averages $49.6k modeled revenue — the local “short list, real money” tell.

Kiwis search “shopify nz” — not the long country name

Ahrefs NZ: “shopify nz” is 2,100/mo (KD 1, $3.50 CPC). “shopify new zealand” is 80. “dropshipping new zealand” is 10. Opposite of South Africa: the platform acronym is the query, the tactic word is empty. A 13k-store catalog with almost no dropship search demand is a local-ops page, not a supplier-hunt page.

NZ-sized

“NZ outdoor gear over 4k visits — do not ask for 200 rows.”

“Specialty foods tagged NZ, Instagram present.”

“Same SKU priced on AU and NZ Shopify.”

How the numbers were calculated

  • Country totals: Neonjelly get_countries / GET /v1/analytics/countries. Dropship % = round(1000 × dropshippers / stores) / 10.
  • Vertical bars: GET /v1/stores?countryCode=NZ&groupBy=vertical&minVisits=500. Floor drops parked shops. (unclassified) omitted from charts. storeCount is shops that clear the floor, not the unfiltered country total.
  • Mean vs median modeled revenue: catalog fields on the unfiltered country row. A fat head (US $15.6k mean / $8 median) is why we print both when the gap is the story.
  • Keyword tables: Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, country-local Google volume (12-month average), KD 0–100, CPC in USD (API returns cents; we divide by 100). Pulled 2026-09-04. We do not invent volumes.
