Is this Shopify theme detector free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. Detect single URLs or batch-analyze up to 20 stores at once. Export results as CSV for competitive research.

Can I copy a Shopify theme from another store?

You cannot directly copy a theme, but you can purchase the same one from the Shopify Theme Store. Our detector provides a direct link so you can buy and install it on your own store.

What if the theme shows as Custom Theme?

Custom Theme means the store uses a theme built from scratch or heavily modified by developers. Our detector checks multiple signals including schema_name, so this label is only applied when no known theme pattern matches.

Does this work with all Shopify stores?

Our detector works with most Shopify stores using custom domains or myshopify.com URLs. Headless/Hydrogen stores without a traditional theme will show as Custom Theme. Stores behind password protection cannot be detected.

How accurate is the theme detection?

Our detector covers 290+ official Shopify themes with up to 100% accuracy when theme_store_id is available. For renamed or third-party themes, we use schema_name fallback detection achieving 85-97% confidence. This multi-layer approach catches themes that other detectors miss.

Can I detect themes in bulk?

Yes. Switch to Batch mode to detect up to 20 URLs at once. Paste URLs directly or upload a CSV file. Results include theme name, developer, price, and confidence score, all exportable as CSV.

How do I check what Shopify theme a competitor is using?

Paste your competitor's store URL into the detector. You'll see their exact theme, developer, and pricing within seconds. Use batch mode to analyze up to 20 competitors at once and export as CSV for side-by-side comparison.

What is the difference between free and premium Shopify themes?

Free themes like Dawn, Refresh, and Craft are built by Shopify with solid functionality for most stores. Premium themes ($150-$400) from developers like Maestrooo, Archetype Themes, and Clean Canvas offer advanced features such as mega menus, advanced filtering, and industry-optimized layouts.

Can this detector identify third-party and custom-built Shopify themes?

Yes. Unlike most detectors that only check theme_store_id, ours also reads the schema_name field from Shopify's theme metadata. This lets us identify third-party themes like Kalles, Turbo, Wokiee, and even fully custom themes by their real name, not just "Custom Theme."
