FAQ

Q: Do I need a Shopify account?

A: No. This analyzer uses public Shopify store data accessible from the storefront. No login required.

Q: How does app detection work?

A: The analyzer inspects page source code, JavaScript files, DOM elements, and network requests for signatures unique to each Shopify app. Confidence levels (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) indicate detection reliability.

Q: Can I analyze non-Shopify stores?

A: This analyzer is specifically designed for Shopify stores. For general tech stack detection, use our Tech Stack Scraper.

Q: How do I find Shopify stores to analyze?

A: Use our Google SERP Scraper to find Shopify stores by searching for site:myshopify.com "keyword" or use store directory sites.

Q: Can I detect custom apps?

A: Custom and private apps are harder to detect. The analyzer focuses on public Shopify apps with known signatures.
