Hi guys, is there any tool to find competitors exact traffic sources? I'm trying to find traffic source of an e-commerce website.

Ahrefs, Semrush etc. only calculates organic traffic sources, not referral sources like affiliates or social media and for similarweb to work it needs to have more than 50k traffic.

Any suggestions?

similarweb.com amongst others can do stuff like that. The 50k limit is for quality control.
I'd be interested in less popular solutions too.

then its not worth it, is it?
I mean, I wouldn't care about such little traffic tbh. If it was bigger, I would go for it.
 
SW is the best IME, if they don't have GA connected analytics than yes 50k or less sites won't show but that does give you at least a cap.

Then use Ahrefs, get an estimate of organic traffic.

Is this website using WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce?

There are ways to find out how many users they have in their DB, as well more advanced ways to figure out their daily sales which with a bit of math using avg conversion rates you can determine traffic.

It's an e-commerce site with high ticket items. Their 50k traffic (probably less than that) is way worth more than 500k traffic of any news/blog/affiliate website.

They're using shopify. I know about SKU (order/invoice number) method and did the calculation of daily sales (by buying their cheapest product at the beginning and at end of month ). But I'm trying to figure the source of traffic. I looked at FB AD Library but there they're just re-targeting (their ad copy says come back, you left ....blah ..blah) their audience, also looked at SERPS for organic results but they're no-where, they are not using google ads as well. So I'm stuck.

Feel free to PM the url and I can take a look for you.
 
I always thought SEMRush was the best for this. Been using them for years.
 
Try Ahref or Semrush. But no tool is calculating a exact value. Rather than going with some other tools you can try with Ahref to find a organic traffic.

ecom category ??
 
Have you tried Alexa? It displays the traffic sources for domain.
Or you can try Spyfu. It has historical data for every keywords along with ranking history and even PPC campaigns + ad copies used. it will be useful to analyse the kind of ad that works and how much traffic is coming from ads.
