# How many Shopify stores are in New Zealand?

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.

## Catalog snapshot (2026-09-04)

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| stores tagged New Zealand | 13,138 |
| median modeled revenue / mo | $231 |
| dropship share | 3.2% |
| stores (unfiltered) | 13,138 |
| flagged dropship | 424 (3.2%) |

## 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.

## A 395–395 tie at the top

## 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.

| Keyword | Volume | KD | CPC USD |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| shopify nz | 2100 | 1 | 3.5 |
| shopify new zealand | 80 | — | 4 |
| dropshipping new zealand | 10 | 0 | 0.7 |

## How the numbers were calculated

- Country totals: `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. `storeCount` is shops that clear the floor, not the unfiltered country total.
- Mean vs median modeled revenue: catalog fields on the unfiltered country row.
- Keyword tables: Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, country-local Google volume (12-month average), KD 0–100, CPC in USD (API cents ÷ 100). Pulled 2026-09-04. We do not invent volumes.
