# How many Shopify stores are in United States?

The US is 44% of every Shopify store we track (605,829 of 1,367,109). 5.9% are flagged dropship — 35,931 shops, more than the entire German catalog. The useful number is not the mean. Modeled monthly revenue averages $15,650 and the median is $8. Almost everyone is small.

## Catalog snapshot (2026-09-04)

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| stores tagged US | 605,829 |
| flagged dropship (35,931) | 5.9% |
| median modeled revenue / mo | $8 |
| stores (unfiltered) | 605,829 |
| flagged dropship | 35,931 (5.9%) |

## Why the mean lies

Averages here are pulled up by Barnes & Noble, Gymshark (US-tagged in this snapshot), Alo, and a few other fat heads. The median $8/mo is the store you actually hit if you sample at random. Filter on visits or revenue before you treat a US list as a market.

## Where the 605k actually sit

Active cut (≥500 visits/mo). Apparel is the longest list (18,183). Outdoor gear is shorter (3,937) but averages 15.4k visits — more attention per shop than apparel's 12.4k. Electronics still books the most modeled revenue in this cut ($999M/mo across 15,373 stores).

| Active US stores by vertical (≥500 visits/mo) | stores |
| --- | --- |
| Apparel | 18183 |
| Consumer Electronics | 15373 |
| Home Decor | 10299 |
| Specialty Foods | 6272 |
| Clothing | 6139 |
| Baby Products | 5685 |
| Skincare | 4745 |
| Pet Supplies | 4181 |
| Outdoor Gear | 3937 |

_GET /v1/stores?countryCode=US&groupBy=vertical&minVisits=500. storeCount = shops in that vertical that clear the floor. Mean visits/revenue are of those shops, not the unfiltered 605k._

## The head of the US list

These are not dropship tests. If a US list comes back with these domains, you filtered wrong — or you asked for traffic instead of a niche you can sell into.

| Domain | Vertical | Visits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| barnesandnoble.com | Books | 17,822,872 |
| gymshark.com | Apparel | 15,063,654 |
| theanimalrescuesite.com | Animal Rescue | 11,320,687 |
| shopflavcity.com | Consumer Electronics | 9,848,030 |
| aloyoga.com | Activewear | 9,650,782 |

## What US searchers type

Ahrefs US: “shopify stores” is 23k/mo (KD 33). “dropshipping suppliers” is 11k/mo and hard (KD 72, $2.50 CPC). “shopify store list” is only 60 — people want the catalog, they do not search that phrase. We rank for the job, not the exact head term.

| Keyword | Volume | KD | CPC USD |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| shopify stores | 23000 | 33 | 2.5 |
| dropshipping suppliers | 11000 | 72 | 2.5 |
| shopify competitors | 1300 | 7 | 3 |
| shopify store list | 60 | 5 | 0.9 |

_Keywords Explorer, country=us, pulled 2026-09-04. Volume = average monthly searches over the last 12 months. CPC is USD. KD is 0–100 estimated top-10 difficulty._

## Asks that cut the tail

Do not ask for “US stores.” Ask for a floor.

- United States skincare, 10k–80k monthly visits, email on file, not a marketplace.
- US outdoor gear that cut price ≥20% this month, Instagram present.
- Sellers of a neck fan on US Shopify, dropship flag, price range.

## 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=US&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.
