Gone shopping lately? It’s a trick question now, with the act of shopping being so radically redefined. Nowhere is this more evident than PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Shopping Apps.
When we peer into the land of the giant shopping apps it’s often a game of inches with brands elbowing each other for lucrative chart positions. Can’t blame them. Shopping apps are the ideal digital conduit, using smartphone tech we love for getting the stuff we want.
Surprises are in store, so grab your shopping lists and let’s move out.
The Top 5
We’ve watched the SHEIN B2C fast-fashion app rise patiently through PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Shopping Apps, and their patience pays off this month with SHEIN snagging No. 1. Their success pushed the Walmart app down one spot to No. 2, putting Amazon at No. 3.
The AliExpress Shopping App held its ground at No. 4, as did eCommerce platform app Wish fresh from its late 2020 IPO, steady again at No. 5 and completing this Top 5.
The Top 10
Moving into the lower reaches of the Top 10 we find pioneering marketplace app eBay still chill at No. 6, followed by a stunning return to PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Shopping Apps by Japan’s Mercari eCommerce app, blasting into the Top 10 at No. 7 after a brief absence.
Mercari’s sudden reappearance pushed the popular Nike app down one spot to No. 8.
Alibaba sees its mighty app drop one rank to land at No. 9 in PYMNTS Provider Ranking of Shopping Apps, while now-public company Poshmark takes No. 10. That does it for this edition.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.
