How to see what Shopify Theme another store is using?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: Identify which Shopify theme a store is using.

  • Manual method: Use browser developer tools (right-click > Inspect). Then use Ctrl-F to search for the term theme and locate the Shopify.theme name entry that reveals the theme name. A short video tutorial is provided: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAt6APoeQw8&feature=youtu.be

  • Tool-based method: Use ShopScan.app to automatically detect both the store’s theme and installed apps by pasting the store URL. No manual inspection needed.

Outcome: Two viable approaches are offered—manual inspection vs. automated detection. No single recommended solution or confirmation from the original poster. The thread remains informational without a definitive resolution.

A lot of people think this needs an app, but you can actually just right click and inspect any shopify store’s website to bring up the developer tools

Then just do a control-f search and search for the word theme.

Press enter until you see Shopify.Theme name = “THEME NAME”

Thanks and.. PEACE

You may use ShopScan.app , it will detect both theme and apps. No manual work needed, just copy and paste the url.
