Finding Shopify stores by the apps they run lets you target merchants with surgical precision: the ones missing an app in your category, or the ones running a competitor you can win. FisherLeads detects the apps and technology on new stores as they launch, so you can filter by installed apps and reach exactly the right founders on day one.
Why installed apps are the best targeting filter
A store's app stack tells you everything about fit. A store with no reviews app is a clean prospect for your reviews app. A store already running a competitor is a switch opportunity. A store on a particular theme or tech is a signal for what else it needs. Targeting by installed apps turns a big list into a short list of merchants who actually match.
The two plays
- Whitespace: filter to new stores that have no app in your category yet. These are your cleanest installs, a founder with the exact gap your app fills, reached before anyone else pitches them.
- Competitor displacement: filter to new stores already running a rival app and reach them early, before they are locked in, with a reason to choose you instead.
Why doing this at launch matters
On an established store, the stack is set and switching is painful. On a store that just launched, nothing is settled yet. Filtering by installed apps is powerful on any store, but on a brand new one it is decisive, because you are catching the decision as it is being made.
How it works
FisherLeads surfaces new Shopify stores the same day they go live, with the apps and technology already detected on each one, plus country, niche, and a founder contact. Filter to the app profile you want, save it as an alert, and reach the right merchants every day.
