ShopHunter group buy, priced for your market

ShopHunter watches Shopify stores. Point it at a store and it estimates the store's revenue and orders, lists its best-selling products and average prices, and shows what it has added or changed recently. A product database lets you search across stores for items that are selling well in a niche.

Its figures are estimates built from public signals such as traffic, ad activity and storefront changes, since nobody outside a store can see its real orders. That makes it a research tool for comparing stores and spotting momentum, and its numbers shouldn't be quoted as exact.

Dropshippers and Shopify sellers use it before committing ad money to a product, and to keep an eye on the stores they compete with. If you sell from India, Pakistan or Bangladesh into the US, UK or Gulf markets, it shows what is moving there.

What ShopHunter is for

It answers two questions: what is selling, and who is selling it. Product research starts in the database, filtering by sales speed, price, store size and how long a product has been listed, to find items with demand and few sellers. Competitor research starts with a store you already know, opening its best sellers and price changes to see what it is pushing right now.

Using ShopHunter day to day

A common routine is to add a few competitor stores to tracking and check them every couple of days. ShopHunter updates tracked stores hourly and flags new products and price moves, so a competitor's new launch shows up quickly. Between checks, you browse curated product lists by niche and save candidates, then look at their sales history before deciding whether to test one.

Features that matter

Store tracking with hourly updates and trend alerts is the main feature. Sales history helps separate a lasting product from a spike, and shows seasonal patterns. The product database's filters for sales velocity and product age are what make it useful for finding something new. An Adspy search shows the Facebook ads a store is running, so you can see how a product is being sold and not just that it sells.

Who it fits and who it doesn't

It fits dropshippers and Shopify store owners doing product research and competitor tracking. It covers Shopify stores only, so sellers on Amazon, eBay, Etsy or their own custom platforms will find most of their competitors missing. Anyone needing exact sales figures, for a valuation or a partner report, needs data from the store itself.

How shared access works here

You open ShopHunter from your dashboard and use a shared account while your plan is active, used fairly alongside other members. The tracked-store list and saved products in that account are visible to everyone on it, and it isn't registered to you.

Limits and fair use

Tracking slots and searches are shared across members, so keep your tracked list to the stores you actually check, and remove ones you've finished with. A shared tracked list can be cleared, so note the stores and products that matter to you in your own spreadsheet.

Alternatives in our catalogue

Dropship.io also tracks Shopify stores and has a large product database, and many sellers try both to compare their estimates. Sell The Trend adds supplier sourcing and store-building to product research. NicheScraper leans on ad and engagement signals to surface trending products. For eBay, ZikAnalytics does the equivalent research.
