Auto-Payments Shopify Apps — Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which auto-payments app has the highest market share on Shopify?
UpPromote Affiliate Marketing ranks #1 by share among auto-payments apps at 74.4%, but the market is fragmented — multiple apps capture meaningful share. Compare the top 5 on features and pricing before deciding.
2. How is market share calculated for auto-payments Shopify apps?
For auto-payments (a keyword page), market share is rank-weighted — apps at position #1 carry roughly 40× the weight of apps at position #22, and apps beyond #22 are excluded. Each app's weighted score is divided by the total weighted score across the keyword to give the share %. This reflects Shopify search behaviour: most installs come from the top of the results.
3. Which auto-payments apps are gaining market share on Shopify?
Affilitrak Affiliate Marketing is gaining auto-payments app market share fastest this month, up +4.01pp versus 30 days ago. Switch the table sub-tab to "Market Share Changes" to see all gainers ordered by movement.
4. Which auto-payments apps are losing market share on Shopify?

6. How many auto-payments apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 96 auto-payments apps on the Shopify App Store. Market share, rankings, and review data refresh weekly so you can track competitive shifts as they happen.
7. Why does the highest-share auto-payments app differ from the #1 ranked app?
Rank reflects an app's current position in the Shopify App Store under auto-payments (driven by Shopify's own algorithm), while market share on ShopDigest is estimated from review counts and other factors as a proxy for active installs. The two metrics move on independent dynamics, so the highest-share app and the #1-ranked app are not always the same — and a divergence between them is worth noting rather than assuming one will pull the other along. For auto-payments, UpPromote Affiliate Marketing leads on share; see the rankings tab for who currently holds #1 position.
