Shopify Store Detector — Theme, Apps & Tech Stack Analysis

Analyze any Shopify store to uncover its theme, installed apps, and technology stack. Built for competitive-intelligence analysts, e-commerce agencies building client proposals, and SaaS teams prospecting Shopify merchants — a complete technical fingerprint of a storefront from a single URL.

Key Features

• Theme Detection — active theme name, theme id and role, read from the Shopify.theme object, the theme-name meta tag, or stylesheet fingerprints.
• App Detection — 50+ app fingerprints across 12 categories: reviews, email marketing, loyalty, upsell/cross-sell, analytics, live chat, SEO, shipping, subscriptions, marketing, page builders and personalisation. Each hit carries a high/medium confidence.
• Tech Stack Fingerprinting — third-party scripts, payment gateways (Shopify Payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay), analytics, CDN and front-end optimisation signals.
• Catalog Size — product and collection counts from the store's public /products.json and /collections.json endpoints.
• Tracker Mode — adds an app category breakdown, a tech-maturity score, competitive insights, common app combinations and an estimated Shopify plan.
• Bulk Analysis — pass a list of store URLs and analyze many stores in one run, with a consistent per-store schema.

Output Example

{
  "storeUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com",
  "storeName": "weareallbirds",
  "theme": { "name": "[DNAM Theme July 2026]", "id": 130450260048, "role": "main" },
  "detectedApps": [
    { "name": "Google Analytics", "category": "analytics", "confidence": "high" }
  ],
  "techStack": ["Shopify", "Google Tag Manager", "Shopify Analytics", "Shopify CDN",
                "Lazy Loading", "Responsive Images", "WebP Images", "Shopify Payments",
                "Apple Pay"],
  "currency": "USD",
  "country": "US",
  "productCount": 250,
  "collectionCount": 30,
  "hasPasswordPage": false,
  "isLive": true,
  "appCategoryBreakdown": { "analytics": ["Google Analytics"] },
  "techMaturityScore": 52,
  "competitiveInsights": ["Minimal app ecosystem detected — potential opportunity for growth."],
  "commonAppCombinations": [],
  "estimatedPlan": "Advanced"
}

appCategoryBreakdown, techMaturityScore, competitiveInsights, commonAppCombinations and estimatedPlan appear only in tracker output mode. estimatedPlan is a heuristic estimate from public storefront signals, not a figure published by Shopify.

Input

{
  "storeUrls": ["https://www.allbirds.com", "https://www.kyliecosmetics.com"],

  "maxResults": 20
}

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event — you pay for stores actually analyzed.

Metric	Cost
Actor start	$0.01
Per store analyzed and returned	$0.10
100 stores	$10.01
1,000 stores	$100.01

Stores that cannot be fetched, that answer with a bot-check page, or that turn out not to run Shopify are skipped and not charged — they are named in the run status message instead. There is no free tier for this actor.

✅ What happens when there is no data

• No storeUrls supplied → the run succeeds with 0 rows and a message naming the missing field. Nothing is charged.
• A URL is reachable but not a Shopify store → skipped, named in the status message, not charged.
• Every requested store was blocked, challenged or unreachable → the run fails loudly with a message naming the cause, rather than finishing green and empty.
• The run hits its time limit → it stops cleanly and says "stopped early at the run time limit"; only stores actually analyzed are charged.

❓ FAQ

How fresh is the data? Every run fetches the target storefront live. No caching.

What output formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, plus the usual Apify integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks).

Can I access this via API? Yes — the standard Apify REST API and the official Python and JavaScript clients.

Can I use the output commercially? You own the output. Check the target site's Terms of Service for restrictions on the underlying content.
