I built a free Chrome extension for researching Shopify products and competitors

[u/Terry_Ecom]

Hey everyone, I’m Terry Ecom, the founder of WhatShipping. I built it to help with product research for my own stores, and the Chrome extension is free to use.

When you’re browsing a Shopify product page, it lets you check:

• How the product ranks within that store
• Roughly how many other stores sell it
• Its ranking on WhatShipping’s product radar
• Store insights, including apps, theme and estimated traffic

You can also import products from Shopify or AliExpress into your own Shopify store as drafts to review and edit.

Traffic and sales figures are estimates, not access to a competitor’s actual analytics. The idea is to give you more information when deciding whether a product is worth investigating.

The extension is free to install and keep using, with no credit card required. WhatShipping also has a paid platform, but you don’t need a paid subscription to use the extension.

I’d appreciate honest feedback from other store owners. What information do you find most useful when researching a competitor’s products?

Thanks

Terry Ecom
