How the Atlas entrepreneur leaderboard works

How the monthly ranking is calculated, how often it updates, and what other merchants can and cannot see about your store.

Written by Eddie Lavandera

The leaderboard ranks Atlas stores by revenue for the current calendar month. You appear on it anonymously, identified only by an Atlas user number, and so does everyone else. It resets at the start of each month. You can find it on your dashboard, or on its own page under Community in the Atlas menu.


What is ranked, and over what period

Ranking is by revenue for the current calendar month, not a rolling window and not your billing cycle. Everyone starts level on the first of the month.

The dashboard card shows Top Atlas entrepreneurs this month and, separately, Your current rank. Select View all to open the full list, which loads more as you scroll and ends with You've reached the end.


What other merchants can see

Nothing that identifies your store. Every merchant on the leaderboard, including you, appears as an anonymous identifier in the form AtlasUser#ID. Store names, domains, product names and account details are never shown.

The search box in the full list searches by that identifier: Search by AtlasUser#ID. It exists so you can find your own row quickly in a long list, not so anyone can look you up.

ℹ️ Revenue figures are shown next to each rank. If you would rather not have your revenue visible even anonymously, contact support from the chat bubble in Atlas, or at support@helloatlas.io, to discuss options.


How often it updates

The leaderboard is calculated on a schedule, roughly once an hour, rather than recalculated every time you open the page. This keeps the dashboard fast for everyone.

The practical effect: a sale you just made will not move your rank immediately. Wait for the next update rather than refreshing. The full list carries a note about this: For optimal app performance, the revenue on this leaderboard shows more recent and accurate data.


If you are not on it yet

Two states you may see instead of a rank:

What you see

What it means

Make your first sale to join the leaderboard.

Your store has not recorded a qualifying sale this month

No sales yet this month. Be the first.

Nobody has recorded a sale yet this month

Bear in mind that Atlas excludes test orders, cash on delivery orders, and refunded or unpaid orders from revenue. If your sales are mostly in one of those categories, your leaderboard revenue will be lower than your Shopify revenue. See What each dashboard metric measures.


If it will not load

We couldn't load the leaderboard. Refresh the page to try again. means the ranking could not be fetched. Refresh once. If it persists past a few minutes, contact support from the chat bubble in Atlas, or at support@helloatlas.io.
