Shopify theme detector

This shopify theme detector helps you detect the Shopify theme name (best effort) and confirm whether a website is Shopify, based on public storefront signals.

Detector

Analyze a Shopify store
Paste a store URL or domain. We will return the theme name (best effort).

What it finds

Theme name (best effort)

If the theme name is exposed in public storefront code, we display it (for example: Dawn). If not, we will show “Not found”.

Shopify confirmation

We also show whether we could confirm the site is running on Shopify using public endpoints and storefront signals.

How it works

The detector fetches the store homepage server-side and checks for Shopify signals (Shopify assets, public endpoints like cart.js, and global variables). It then extracts theme hints when they are visible.

Limitations

  • Some stores block automated requests or require JavaScript to render critical parts of the page.
  • Theme name is not always publicly exposed, even on Shopify stores.
  • Stores can customize or remove theme signals, which lowers detection confidence.

FAQ

What is a Shopify theme detector?

A Shopify theme detector checks a store’s public storefront code and endpoints to infer the most likely theme name. Results are best effort.

Can you detect the Shopify theme name (like Dawn)?

Often, yes. Many stores expose theme metadata in public storefront HTML (for example via Shopify.theme). Some stores hide it, so it may be unavailable.

Why can theme detection fail?

Some stores block automated requests, remove theme metadata, or rely on JavaScript-rendered storefront code that isn’t visible to a simple HTML fetch.

Does this work for any website?

This detector is designed for Shopify stores. If a site is not Shopify, we won’t be able to return a meaningful theme name.
