The Shopify ecom briefing.

Every Monday: which stores moved, which categories shifted, which top brands lost DMARC over the weekend. One email, no fluff, written from our own ranking data.

No spam. Unsubscribe in one click.

What's in every issue

Section 1

Top movers

The biggest risers and fallers in Recon Rank this week, with the category we put them in and the magnitude of the move.

Section 2

Category shift

Which of the 40+ ecommerce categories is heating up or cooling off, plus the merchants driving the change.

Section 3

Security spotlight

A top-500 brand whose DMARC, SPF, SSL, or lookalike picture changed since last week. Stated plainly, not melodramatically.

Section 4

Three links that mattered

Three useful links from ecommerce trade press. No press releases or padded roundups.

Who reads it

→ Operators at $1M–$20M Shopify brands who want to know how their category is moving without reading 30 sources a week.

→ Agency leads doing growth, build, and ops work who pitch in the categories that are warming.

→ App founders tracking which merchant cohorts are switching tools and which categories are consolidating.

Where the data comes from

Pulse is generated from the same dataset behind Recon Data: monthly traffic rankings, our ecommerce category taxonomy, and security scans on the top 500 stores.

We're transparent about it. Want the raw numbers? data.recon.bot serves the same data as JSON.
