As Summer Wanes, Shein Shines Atop Shopping App Rankings

Back to school looms, and shopping — for now, at least — revolves around backpacks, Chromebooks, fall fashion, sneakers and, possibly, stocking up on dorm room snacks.

And for the key players in eCommerce, it’s too soon to know just how much the online crush of students (and their parents) buying classroom essentials may have boosted top lines. But with this edition of  PYMNTS’ Provider Ranking of Shopping Apps we see the ranks dominated by some of the usual suspects — companies that, through the past few months, have been buoyed by continually resilient consumer spending.

Coming out on top is Shein with a score of 94.

Amazon and Walmart tie up for second place, scoring 93.
