The window covers complete days only. A week including today would compare a few hours against seven finished days, which is the quickest way to invent a decline that never happened.

The busiest day was Oct 14 with 3,199. The spread across a normal week is wide, which is exactly why a weekly figure beats any single day for reading direction.
What a week of WooCommerce launches is worth
16,827 stores in seven days, on a platform where each one needs hosting, maintenance, security and speed work that a hosted platform would have handled. That is a materially different commercial opportunity from the same number of Shopify stores, and far fewer people are working it.
From FisherLeads, which confirms each WooCommerce store is genuinely new and live. Last confirmed October 15, 2026.
