What we provide

We read public pages from Shopify storefronts and publish what we find: whether a domain is a Shopify store, which theme and apps we can identify on it, its published catalog, and an estimate of what it earns. Everything but the last is free and needs no account.

A plan covers a number of estimates. Pricing says what each plan includes, and the payment provider states the amount before you enter a card.

How the estimate is worked out, and what it is not

What we observe. We read a store's public product pages over time and watch what changes between readings. That is the whole input: pages a shopper could open, read on a schedule. What our crawler does lists every path we request and how often, and it is the same three paths for every store. We do not have access to a store's admin, its analytics, its payment processor or its order history, and nobody at the store tells us anything.

Below our history threshold there is no figure at all. We say we are still gathering data rather than producing a number, because a confident number we cannot support is the failure this product is organised around refusing.

The figures are our own estimates about a business we observe from the outside. They are not audited accounts, they are not financial advice, and they must not be presented as a store's actual, stated or verified revenue.

Every answer carries the date it was read and, where the confidence is capped, the reason it was capped. Those are part of the figure rather than decoration around it, and quoting the number without them is quoting something we did not publish.

The plain-language account of all of this, at length, is how the estimate is worked out. Where the two could ever differ, this page wins.

What you may and may not do with a figure

You may use what you get for your own research, and you may quote a figure as long as you say it came from us, keep it beside the date it was read, and do not describe it as the store's actual revenue.

You may not:

• Re-publish the paid figure in bulk, or by any automated means, as a dataset, feed, API or product of your own. The free answers on this site have no such restriction; the estimate is the one thing a plan buys, and re-publishing it is selling our work as yours.
• Present a figure as audited, verified or supplied by the store itself, or use one to state that a named business earns a particular amount as fact.
• Use an automated client to work around a plan's limits, or share an API key so that several people spend one plan.

If you own a store we describe and want a figure corrected or the store removed, write to us. We answer within 30 days and a removal stays a removal.

Paying, and what happens when money moves back

LemonSqueezy is the merchant of record for every purchase. They take the payment, they handle tax, and their terms govern the transaction itself. Your card details never reach us.

• A subscription runs to the end of its period. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves you the period you have already paid for. We do not cut access off at the moment you click.
• If we change what a plan includes, the change waits for the period you have already paid for. A capability or a quota you bought is not narrowed inside a period you have already paid for; a change takes effect at the next renewal.
• Credits do not expire and sit beside a subscription's quota. A lookup spends the quota first, because unused quota is worth nothing at the end of a period and a credit is still worth something tomorrow.
• A refund of a credit pack takes the credits back — up to what is still there, and never below zero. If you have already spent them we do not put your balance into debt and we do not bill you for the difference; a person looks at it instead.
• A refunded subscription period is recorded, and we do not go back and undo what it paid for. The estimates you already ran stay run and stay on your usage record. If a refund is meant to end access, the provider ends the subscription and we follow that.

Your usage record is append-only, which is what makes it worth checking a bill against: entries are added and never edited or removed. Your account page shows it.

Your account

Keep your sign-in and your API keys to yourself; anything done with them counts as done by you. You can revoke a key from your dashboard at any time, and we can suspend an account that is being used to break the rules above — we will say why.

You can close your account whenever you like. What we keep afterwards, and what we erase, is in privacy.

What we do not promise

We do not promise that this service is available without interruption, and we do not promise that a store we could read yesterday can be read today — a store can block our crawler at any time and we honour that immediately, which means the answer for it goes away.

Where an answer contains no figure, it costs you nothing: a store we are still gathering data for, a store whose currency we could never read, and a locked answer have never spent a unit of a plan.

To the extent the law allows it, what we owe you if something goes wrong is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before it did. Nothing here limits anything that cannot be limited by law.

Changes, and reaching us

If we change these terms we move the date at the top. A change never applies backwards to a period you have already paid for. If you do not accept a change, stop using the service and cancel — you keep the period you paid for either way.

Write to [email protected] about any of this, or see contact for which address answers what.

We have not published an incorporated entity or a governing-law clause, because we do not have one to name and printing a plausible one would be the opposite of what the rest of this page is for.
