Who uses Aris Product Options, Variants?

The typical Aris store has a large catalog. Its median store lists 121 products, behind only Infinite Options (146) and SC Product Options (136) among the options apps we profile, and well ahead of Globo (about 94), OPTIS (90) and Easify (51). The median store runs 9 detected apps. That profile fits stores that sell many products with custom fields, where Shopify's native variants are not enough.

About 5.5% of Aris stores run Shopify Plus, a little above the Shopify-wide rate, at roughly 1.25x. That is close to Globo (about 6.3%) and OPTIS (about 6.1%), above Easify (about 3.9%) and Qikify (about 3.2%), and well below Infinite Options and Ymq, which both pass 13%. In practice Aris serves the broad middle of Shopify: growing stores with real catalogs rather than either first-year shops or large enterprise brands.

Aris is used well beyond the United States: 63% of its stores are based elsewhere. The US accounts for about 37%, then the United Kingdom at about 9%, India at about 8%, Canada at about 7%, and Germany and Australia at about 5% each. India ranks higher for Aris than for any other options app we profile; for King and Qikify it is fifth, and for most others it is not among the top markets.

By category, business and industrial stores lead at about 28%, the highest share among options apps we profile, followed by fashion at about 21%. Technology accounts for about 10%, with general shopping and food and drink at about 8% each. The business and industrial lean points to suppliers, printers, signage and parts sellers, stores that need several option fields per product and often a file upload or a custom size.

The apps that show up next to Aris describe an international store that sells across markets and works its product page hard. Aris stores run Selecty, a geolocation and markets app that routes visitors to the right country store or currency, 20.3x more often than the average Shopify store. Kaching Bundles, a bundle and quantity-break app, shows up 12.8x more often, and Selleasy upsells 3.1x more often.

Two contact form apps also stand out: Hulk Contact Form Builder at 3.6x and Powerful Contact Form Builder at 3.3x. Contact forms fit stores that take custom orders, quotes or trade enquiries alongside normal checkout. Smile loyalty, at 1.8x, is the only mainstream retention app on the list.

Put together, an Aris store often sells to more than one country, offers bundles and upsells on the product page, and handles custom or quote-based requests. For anyone selling to Shopify brands, that is a store with an active approach to conversion and a catalog that needs configuration.
