ShopEyes is a free Shopify theme and app detector for public storefront research. It helps merchants, agencies, app developers, and competitive researchers understand visible theme, app, and storefront signals from public Shopify stores.
Who ShopEyes is for
ShopEyes is designed for people who need fast, responsible Shopify research without asking a merchant for private admin access.
What ShopEyes can detect
- Public Shopify theme clues, theme names, theme store links, or headless indicators when those signals are visible.
- Visible app scripts, widgets, storefront resources, and app-like markers exposed by the public storefront.
- Storefront metadata, social links, screenshot context, and public research notes that help teams compare stores.
What ShopEyes cannot detect
- Private Shopify admin data, checkout data, payment data, customer data, or backend-only apps.
- Apps that leave no public storefront signal, apps hidden behind account-only flows, or server-side tools with no browser evidence.
- Revenue, exact traffic, private conversion rates, or confidential merchant performance data.
Use cases
- Benchmark a competitor before changing your own theme or app stack.
- Prepare an agency discovery call with a short public storefront research note.
- Help an app developer understand which workflows a store appears to prioritize.
- Qualify stores for outreach without asking for private access.

Why are some apps not detected?
