Who uses Orbe Geolocation?

Orbe is an enterprise-leaning app. About 28% of Orbe stores run Shopify Plus, more than 6x the Shopify-wide rate and nearly three times the share for Selecty, its closest rival, at about 10%. Plus brands are more likely to operate several regional storefronts or complex Markets setups, which is exactly where routing visitors correctly matters most.

The median Orbe store lists 136 products and runs 13 apps, against 71 products and 10 apps for Selecty. These are established brands with a full range and a deep app stack, not stores taking their first steps into international selling.

85% of Orbe stores are outside the United States, the same share as Selecty. The US accounts for about 15%, with the Netherlands and Germany tied for second at about 10% each. Australia follows at about 9%, then France and Denmark at about 6.5% each. The Netherlands and Denmark in the top six make Orbe's base noticeably more northern European than Selecty's, which features Italy and the United Kingdom instead.

By category, fashion brands lead at about 20%, followed by business and industrial stores at 16% and art and entertainment at about 9%, then technology at 6.5%. Fashion and design brands from northern Europe often sell across the EU, the UK and the US from one operation, which suits a geolocation app.

The apps that show up next to Orbe are typical of a well-funded international brand. LangShop AI translation appears 22.3x more often than on the average Shopify store, the Multifeeds product feed builder 19.6x more often, and Elevar, a server-side conversion tracking tool, 14.8x more often. The Gorgias helpdesk shows up 13.5x more often and the Cookiebot consent platform 12.4x more often. A separate country redirect app is also heavily over-represented, which suggests some merchants combine tools or are moving between them.

Translation, multi-country product feeds and consent management are the building blocks of selling in several markets, and Elevar and Gorgias are investments that usually come with a dedicated ecommerce team. If you sell to Shopify brands, Orbe is a strong marker of an international, Plus-level merchant.

Selecty is the closest rival, with a 5.0 rating and a similar number of App Store reviews.
