Shopify Store Scanner

Scan any Shopify store and instantly detect its public store information, theme, apps, tracking technologies, social links, contact information, and product signals.

Shopify Store Scanner is a lightweight Apify Actor for Shopify store analysis, competitor research, ecommerce due diligence, and AI-agent workflows. It is not a full Shopify product scraper: it does not crawl every product page, estimate revenue, log in, bypass access controls, or use browser automation.

What It Does

• Detects whether a public URL appears to be a Shopify store.
• Extracts store title, meta description, and page language.
• Detects Shopify.theme name and ID when present.
• Uses /products.json?limit=250 for a lightweight product count estimate and category hints.
• Detects common Shopify apps from HTML and script signals: Klaviyo, Judge.me, Gorgias, Yotpo, ReCharge.
• Detects Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Analytics signals.
• Extracts Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube links.
• Extracts email and phone from the footer and contact pages.
• Outputs structured JSON for APIs, n8n, Make, data pipelines, and AI agents.

Key Benefits

• HTTP-only
• Fast
• Low-cost
• No browser automation
• No login required
• Public data only
• Structured JSON
• API / n8n / Make / AI Agent friendly

Use Cases

• Shopify store analyzer for ecommerce research.
• Shopify theme detector for Shopify agencies and service providers.
• Shopify app detector for technology and stack research.
• Shopify technology detector for competitive intelligence.
• Shopify competitor research for public store benchmarking.
• Shopify store info enrichment for CRM, lead qualification, and AI agents.
• Lightweight Shopify scraper alternative when you only need store-level signals, not full product scraping.

The Actor writes the result to the default dataset and to key-value store record OUTPUT.

Monetization

The recommended Apify Store pricing model is pay-per-event:

• Event name: successful-store-scan
• Billable unit: 1 successful Shopify store scan
• Recommended MVP price: $0.05 per successful Shopify store scan

The Actor charges only after a result is successfully written and is_shopify is true. Non-Shopify URLs and failed scans are not charged by the custom event.

Limitations

• This Actor analyzes public store-level signals only.
• It does not scrape all products or product pages.
• /products.json?limit=250 provides a lightweight count estimate, not a complete catalog size for large stores.
• App and tracking detection is based on public HTML/script signals and may miss server-side or hidden integrations.
• Some stores block public requests, hide metadata, or use custom frontends that expose fewer Shopify signals.
• It does not estimate revenue, traffic, conversion rate, ad spend, or business performance.

Privacy And Public Data

This Actor only requests publicly accessible web pages and Shopify public JSON endpoints. It does not log in, access private Shopify admin data, bypass paywalls, solve CAPTCHAs, or use residential proxies. Users are responsible for complying with applicable laws and target website terms.
