The problem
E-commerce founders manually hack Shopify URLs (appending best-selling sort parameters or sitemap.xml) to spy on competitors' top products and hidden pages. Multiple posts share bookmarklet workarounds, showing demand for a proper tool that tracks competitor catalogs, pricing, and best sellers over time.
Who it’s for
E-commerce store owners and dropshippers doing competitor research
Market
2M+ Shopify merchants, with a targetable subset of hundreds of thousands of store owners actively doing competitor research
Source: external_knowledge
Shopify publicly reports powering millions of merchants globally (~2M+ stores), and competitor-research tools like Koala Inspector and Shophunter demonstrate an established buyer base among e-commerce owners and dropshippers. The addressable market is the subset of these merchants engaged in active competitive monitoring, plausibly in the hundreds of thousands.
