📈 Shop Tracker

Analyze real Shopify stores and uncover what’s actually working

The Shop Tracker lets you analyze real Shopify stores and understand how they’re performing — based on traffic, products, and estimated sales data.

Instead of guessing whether a store is successful, you can look at real numbers and trends to validate products, niches, and markets.

This feature is all about confidence before execution.


🧭 What the Shop Tracker is used for

Use the Shop Tracker to:

  • Analyze competitor Shopify stores

  • Estimate traffic, orders, and revenue

  • Identify winning products and categories

  • Track growth trends over time

  • Validate ideas before launching or scaling

If a store is growing, the data will show it.


🔎 Tracking a shop

To analyze a store:

  1. Enter the Shopify store URL

  2. Start the analysis

  3. Droplink collects and processes the data

Each shop analysis uses credits.
Credits limit how many deep analyses you can run per month — they are not money.


📊 What data the Shop Tracker shows

Once analyzed, you’ll see key performance insights such as:

  • Estimated monthly traffic

  • Estimated number of orders

  • Estimated monthly and yearly revenue

  • Growth percentage compared to previous periods

  • Product count and average product value

All numbers are estimates, but they’re extremely useful for spotting patterns and trends.


📦 Product & category insights

Beyond store-level data, the Shop Tracker also shows:

  • Best-selling products

  • Product categories driving revenue

  • Price ranges that convert best

  • Average order value estimates

This helps you understand what exactly makes the store work, not just how big it is.


📈 Trend & growth analysis

One of the most powerful parts of the Shop Tracker is growth tracking.

You can see:

  • Whether traffic is increasing or declining

  • How fast the store is scaling

  • If growth is consistent or short-term

Fast growth often means:

  • A strong product

  • Successful ad campaigns

  • A market that’s currently hot 🔥


💡 How to use Shop Tracker effectively

  • Focus on growth, not just revenue

  • Compare multiple stores in the same niche

  • Combine Shop Tracker data with Ad Library and Discover Products

  • Look for patterns, not single data points

A store doing well once is luck.
A store growing consistently is a signal.


❓ Common questions

Are these numbers 100% accurate?
No. They are estimates — but they’re reliable enough to guide smart decisions.

Can I track the same store multiple times?
Yes, as long as you have available credits.

Do I need the store owner’s permission?
No. Only publicly available data is analyzed.


✅ Summary

The Shop Tracker helps you:

  • 📈 Validate stores with real data

  • 🧠 Understand what makes competitors successful

  • 🔍 Spot trends early

  • 🚀 Make smarter decisions with confidence

If Discover Products shows you what to sell,
and the Ad Library shows you how it’s advertised,
the Shop Tracker shows you who is already winning.
