What is Ecommerce Store Leads?

Ecommerce Store Leads is a research service that finds newly launched US Shopify stores and audits each one for 8 marketing gaps (Meta pixel, Google tag, email/SMS tool, reviews app, SEO description, theme, load time and social links). Agencies get the stores that have the gap they fix, with the business contact the store publishes and a suggested first message.

Where does the data come from?

From public sources only. We start with the public list of newly registered domains, check which ones point to Shopify's IP range, then read each store's own public pages (homepage, products and contact pages). We don't scrape social networks and we don't buy third-party data.

How new are the stores?

In the latest run, the domains were registered between 13 Sep – 26 Sep 2026 and the stores were audited by 30 Sep 2026. Every file and every page shows its dates, and the engine runs every week so new stores keep coming in.

Are the emails verified?

No, and we don't claim they are. We include an email only if the store publishes it on its own website (for example info@ or support@, or the address on its contact page). 43.5% of audited US stores published one. Some small stores publish a Gmail or Yahoo address as their business contact. Please check details before you reach out, because new stores change quickly.

Is it only US stores?

Yes. Delivered files contain only stores based in the United States. Our audit also sees stores in other countries that ship to the US, but we leave them out of US deliveries and out of the numbers on this site.

Will other agencies get the same stores?

Not from our custom reports. Each store goes into only one custom report, so two clients never get the same store from us. The stores themselves are public businesses, and anyone running our self-serve auditor on Apify can audit any public store, so we don't sell the data as "exclusive".

Can you guarantee clients or replies?

No. Nobody can honestly promise that. What we deliver is the number of researched stores in your package, each with its detected gaps, the business contact it publishes and a suggested opener.

Can I email these stores?

We can't give legal advice. What we follow and recommend are the CAN-SPAM basics for business email in the US: identify yourself, use an honest subject line, include a way to opt out and honour opt-outs. Our suggested openers are short, specific and end with an opt-out line. Check the rules that apply to you before sending.

How is this different from a Shopify store database?

Databases give you millions of stores and filters, and you do the research. We do the research: only stores launched recently, only in the US, audited for the exact gap you sell against, with a reason to reach out already written. You get a short list, not a haystack.

How do I order?

Start with 10 free stores using the form on this site. For full orders (50, 100 or 250 stores), order direct on our order page, where you pick a package and we email you a secure payment link within 24 hours, or order the same packages on Fiverr. Developers can run the auditor themselves on Apify for $19.90 per 1,000 audited stores.

What does the competitor report include?

For store owners: the new stores in your niche with website, location and product count, their price points (median and typical range), newest products, theme and marketing tools, and the share of competitors missing each tool, with a one-page summary. It covers recently launched stores, not large established brands.

Do we need a call?

No. Everything is handled in writing, by email for direct orders and the free sample, or on Fiverr chat for Fiverr orders.

How many stores do you find each week?

It depends on how many new Shopify stores open. In the latest run we scanned 419,462 newly registered domains, found 13,982 on Shopify and 1,197 US stores passed our checks. If your niche is small, message us first and we'll tell you how many are available before you order.

Can a store ask to be removed?

Yes. Any store can ask us to remove it and we will stop including it in reports. See our data policy page.
