Apollo doesn't have these leads. Clay doesn't either. ShopifySift finds founders posting their store, URL, or niche in their X bio — so you can reach out first.
Apollo gives you 50,000+ emails. Half bounce. The other half ignore you. We dig into X handles whose bios literally say "founder of", "new store", "my build", etc. They'll respond.
We look exactly where X is full of unfiltered signals: URLs, stores, niches, growth goals, product launches.
Every lead, their website, has payments enabled, has inventory, and launched recently. "Active" means they're building right now.
Click and the lead is copied, ready to DM. CSV export for Apollo / Clay / Instantly.
"Pick a niche" is optional. X is already public — we surface what's already out there.
ShopifySift scans X bios for stores, niches, keywords, and buying intent signals.
We verify the store is live and active so you don't waste a single outreach.
Grab verified leads and start conversations that convert.
"Cancelled Apollo after a week. The leads here are actually replying because the data is real. ShopifySift just works."
"Used to spend 4 hours scraping LinkedIn for store founders. ShopifySift pulls 100 fresh leads and they all exist."
"The 'verified + active' filter is huge. I'm getting replies from operators, not dead accounts. It's like Clay on easy mode."
Apollo shows you 50,000+ names. Half bounce, the rest ghost. ShopifySift finds the operators who are building right now.
Try it. Test the leads. No card.
For serious cash-generators. Extra scale, more power.
Apollo and Clay sell huge lists of B2B contacts pulled from LinkedIn and ZoomInfo. We pull a smaller list of X handles whose bios literally point at a Shopify store they built. Smaller list, but every lead has a real "in" for your DM. Conversion is typically 5-10× cold email.
Public X (Twitter) bios indexed by DuckDuckGo and Brave Search. We dork search engines for X profiles whose bio text contains Shopify store URLs, then verify each store is real and actively selling. No private databases, no scraped accounts.
We don't scrape X directly — we query public search engine indexes that already contain public bio data. Operating within search engine ToS. What you do with the resulting handles (DMs, follows, etc.) follows X's user-facing rules.
The store's /products.json endpoint returns at least one product, that product has a price greater than $0, and the catalog has been updated in the last 365 days. This filters out dev stores, abandoned catalogs, and password-gated stores.
Average is 30-80 active leads per niche keyword. Broader keywords + more keywords = more leads. A "skincare" + "fitness" + "coffee" + "candles" run typically pulls 150-250 active handles.
We log search history (keywords + counts) for your dashboard, but we don't keep the actual lead handles or store URLs server-side. Export them to CSV right after a search to save them.
