Amazon Top Terms

Time to dive into the past two weeks and see which Amazon's top 10 search terms have gained incredible popularity between July 16 and July 29. We're about to uncover the terms that are making a fortune on Amazon!

In this week's Amazon top 10 terms, the "smart trash can" has become a hot favorite, landing at #2 with a massive increase in sales—from 268 units per day to 402 units per day in the last two weeks.

These trash cans are an eco-friendly solution for those consumers seeking modern solutions for waste management. The surge in sales can be largely attributed to the positive reviews, causing a skyrocketing effect in just a few days.

Shopify Releases Q2 Revenue Report

For Q2 2023, Shopify reported a $1.7 billion revenue, beating analysts’ $1.62 billion estimate. This number represents a 31% increase YoY.

Revenue from subscriptions increased by 21% YoY. This is because more business owners signed up to sell on Shopify. On the other hand, revenue from Merchant Solutions increased 35% to $1.3 billion. This is partly because of the success of Shopify Payments.

This marks the third quarter that the platform saw positive cashflow, and Shopify is expecting to see revenue growth in the low-twenties percentage rate YoY for Q3.
