Pro Tips

How to Detect a Shopify Theme Without a Tool

Want to check manually? Here is the most reliable method. For more details, read our full guide on how to detect Shopify themes manually.

Method 1: The "Inspect Code" Trick

  1. Right-click on any empty space on the store's homepage and select "View Page Source".
  2. Press Ctrl + F (Windows) or Cmd + F (Mac) to open the search.
  3. Type Shopify.theme and look for the line that says "name":.

Note: This often shows the developer's project name. Our tool decrypts these names to identify the actual commercial theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about detecting Shopify themes

What is a Shopify theme detector?

A Shopify theme detector is a free tool that analyzes a store's public HTML code (headers, scripts, and CSS) to identify which Shopify theme and apps it is running. It helps you discover successful themes used by competitors.

Is it legal to spy on other Shopify stores?

Yes, absolutely. Theme detectors only aggregate publicly available information that is visible in the page source code. It does not access any private backend data, sales figures, or customer information.

How do I find what Shopify theme a website is using?

The easiest way is to use our free tool at the top of this page. Simply paste the store's URL, and we will identify the theme name and provider instantly. Alternatively, you can view the page source and search for Shopify.theme.

Can you detect themes on custom or headless Shopify stores?

If a store is "headless" (using Shopify mainly for checkout but a different frontend technology like React), a traditional "theme" doesn't exist. In these cases, we will identify that the site uses Shopify but may label the theme as "Custom/Headless."

Why does the result say "Custom Theme" instead of a specific name?

This happens when a store has renamed their theme file (e.g., "Summer Sale Version") or had a developer build a completely bespoke design. We do our best to fingerprint the underlying code structure to find the original parent theme.

Is this Shopify theme detector free?

Yes, ShopifyThemeDetector.tools is 100% free to use for unlimited searches. There are no paywalls or hidden fees.

Can this tool detect Shopify apps?

Yes. We scan for common JavaScript signatures loaded by popular Shopify apps (like Reviews, Sizing Charts, and Email Popups) to give you a list of the tech stack the store is using.

Does this tool work on password-protected stores?

No. We cannot access the source code of a store that is locked behind a password page. The store must be publicly live for us to analyze it.

How accurate is this theme detector?

It is extremely accurate for the 100+ most popular themes on the Shopify Theme Store. For heavily customized enterprise stores, accuracy depends on how much the original code has been obfuscated.

Can I detect which Shopify theme a store used in the past?

Currently, we show you the live theme. We are building a "History" feature that will allow you to see if a store has switched themes recently.
