China-headquartered (Hangzhou) — selling globally via Shopify

Data Coverage

Competitor Shopify stores, product launches, pricing, Facebook ads, theme intelligence

Actowiz Solutions delivered competitive Shopify intelligence for a Hangzhou-based Chinese D2C brand expanding into US, EU, and Australian markets — tracking 1,800+ competitor Shopify stores, product launches, pricing strategies, and Facebook ad creatives.

Client Overview

The client is a Hangzhou-based D2C brand in the women's apparel and accessories category, generating $45M GMV across its Shopify stores serving US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia markets. As Chinese D2C brands increasingly compete with Western counterparts on speed-to-market and pricing, real-time competitive intelligence is essential.

The Chinese D2C playbook depends on identifying trending products before Western competitors, ad-creative inspiration, and pricing optimisation across multiple markets.

Business Challenges

Competitor Store Discovery

Identifying which Shopify stores were competing for the client's target customers required systematic monitoring of paid ads, influencer mentions, and category leaders.

Daily Product-Launch Tracking

Western D2C competitors launched 50-200 SKUs per week per store — manual monitoring missed 95% of launches.

Facebook Ad Creative Intelligence

Successful Western D2C ads were a goldmine for Chinese sellers — but the Facebook Ad Library was hard to scrape and search systematically.

Multi-Currency Pricing

Same product on the same Shopify store could be priced differently in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD — needed unified comparison.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

  • Identify and aggregate 1,800+ competitor Shopify stores in the women's category

  • Detect competitor product launches within 24 hours

  • Capture Facebook Ad Library creatives by competitor brand

  • Track multi-currency pricing across competitor stores

  • Surface trending products before they peak

Facebook Ad Library Pipeline
