Shopify theme detector
Find out which theme and apps any Shopify store uses.
Three steps, no account.
- 1
Enter a store address
Any Shopify store: its own domain or its .myshopify.com address.
- 2
The storefront is read
The theme's name and version come from the store's own code, and apps from what loads on the page.
- 3
Find the theme
Search the Theme Store for it, and see which apps the store uses for reviews, email, search and SEO.
What it checks
Enter any Shopify store's address and see the theme it runs, its version, whether it came from the Shopify Theme Store, and the apps that load on the page, from reviews to SEO. Read straight from the store's own code, not guessed from how it looks.
- The theme's name and version
- Whether it came from the Shopify Theme Store
- Apps by category, including SEO apps
- Store language, country and currency
What each number is telling you.
A report you cannot interpret is just a longer way of saying something is wrong.
Theme name
The name the theme gives itself, such as Dawn or Prestige. The store may have renamed its own copy; both are shown when they differ.
From the Theme Store, or custom
Themes bought from the Theme Store keep a link back to it. When that link is gone, the theme was built from scratch or edited enough that the store removed it.
Apps
Apps that load something on the page: a script, a widget or a theme app block. Apps that only work in the admin or at checkout leave no trace here.
SEO apps
Called out separately. Running two SEO apps usually means two sets of structured data that disagree.
The mechanism, not the platitude.
- 01
Borrow what works
When a store in your niche converts well, its theme and apps are a shortlist worth testing on your own.
- 02
Check before you hire
An agency's portfolio says a lot more once you know which stores run a Theme Store theme and which were built from scratch.
- 03
Spot app overlap
Every app adds scripts. Seeing two review apps or two SEO apps on a page explains a slow store and conflicting data.
What this usually turns up, and the fix.
Four problems that account for most of what this tool reports on a Shopify store.
The finding
The theme shows a strange name
Why it happens
The store renamed its copy of the theme, or a developer named a custom build.
The fix
Look at the theme's own name next to it, and search the Theme Store for that.
The finding
No apps found
Why it happens
Many apps only load on product pages, in the cart or at checkout.
The fix
Run the detector again on a product page from the same store.
The finding
Not a Shopify store
Why it happens
The site is on another platform, or uses Shopify only behind a custom (headless) storefront.
The fix
Try the store's .myshopify.com address if you know it.
What this will not tell you.
Every tool has a boundary. Knowing where this one ends is what keeps you from over-reading it.
- It sees what the storefront loads. Apps that work only in the admin, in emails or at checkout leave no trace on the page.
- App names come from a list of common apps. An app we don't recognise is shown by the name it loads under.
