Shopify theme detector
See the theme behind any Shopify store.
Paste a store address and ThemeScope reveals the theme it runs — official or custom, with a version when the store exposes one. Then, one click shows the apps powering it too. Not on Shopify? It'll tell you that.
How the detector works
Every Shopify store publishes clues in the code it sends to every visitor. ThemeScope reads only that public source — nothing private, no login.
You paste a URL
Drop in any live store address. We normalise it and load the storefront's public homepage.
We read the source
We look for Shopify's fingerprints and the public theme object the storefront ships to browsers.
Readout, then apps
Theme name, official-vs-custom, and a version when exposed. Then one click scans for the apps the store runs.

Frequently asked
Is the theme detector free?
Yes. You can scan as many stores as you like, with no account and no signup.
Why does it sometimes say "custom" or "theme hidden"?
Some stores hire a developer to build a bespoke theme, heavily modify an existing one, or run a headless setup. In those cases the usual public theme name isn't present, so we report it honestly instead of guessing.
Can you always show the theme version?
No — and we won't invent one. Shopify's public theme data doesn't include a version number, so we only show a version when a particular store happens to expose one in its source.
How does the app detection work?
After a theme is found, the "Check the apps" button runs a second scan of the store's public source and matches it against fingerprints of popular Shopify apps — reviews, email and SMS, loyalty, page builders, subscriptions, chat, and more. We only list an app when its public trace is actually present. Apps that leave no visible trace, or fully custom code, won't show up.
Does it work if the store isn't on Shopify?
It'll tell you the site isn't a Shopify store. ThemeScope is built specifically for Shopify storefronts.
Is this legal / private?
We only read the public source code every visitor's browser already downloads. We don't access anything behind a login and we don't store the URLs you check.
