Stores grouped by one fact you can check
Each list has a single entry condition and prints the evidence beside every store — the sentence its policy states, or the date in its registry record. Where a number is a share, the denominator is on the page, because “most stores” without one is an opinion.
- Shopify stores that publish a free-shipping threshold
A store qualifies here when its shipping policy states the order value at which shipping becomes free — or states that it always is. The figure is read from that sentence, and the sentence is printed next to it.
493 of 934 stores whose policy pages we could read and parse - Shopify stores that promise delivery within a week
The number is the slowest case the store commits to in writing, not its fastest option. Where a policy says “business days”, we convert to calendar days — a five-business-day promise is seven calendar days, and that is what a buyer waits.
134 of 425 stores that state a delivery window at all - Shopify stores with a return window of 60 days or more
Thirty days is where nearly everyone lands, so it distinguishes nothing. The cut here is 60 days — the point where a store is making a commitment most of its competitors do not.
71 of 694 stores that state a return window - Shopify stores that pay for return shipping
A return window tells you how long you have; it says nothing about who pays the courier. These stores state that they do — through a prepaid label, free returns, or covering the cost outright.
129 of 842 stores whose refund policy yielded any term at all - Shopify stores paying 15% commission or more
Every rate here comes from a page the brand published itself, with the sentence attached. Where the page gives a range, we take the upper bound, because that is the number the brand is advertising — treat it as a ceiling, not a starting rate.
52 of 94 stores that publish a commission rate - Shopify stores running on domains registered 20 years ago or more
Every other signal on this site can be edited by the store overnight. The registration date cannot — it comes from the registry’s public RDAP record. Twenty years is long before Shopify existed, so these are businesses that moved onto it, not ones built on it.

Missing from a list your store belongs on? The condition is mechanical: publish the fact on your own policy page and the nightly read picks it up. Nothing here can be bought — how this registry is funded.
