StoreSpy — Shopify Theme & App Detector
Extension Actions
Detect Shopify themes, apps, and products. 100% local, never goes down.
StoreSpy is a privacy-first browser extension that instantly detects which Shopify theme, apps, and total product count any Shopify store is using — entirely inside your browser. No signup, no server upload, no waiting on a backend that might be down.
Open any Shopify store, click the StoreSpy icon, and within ~2 seconds you'll see four dimensions of intelligence: store info, theme (with Dawn-family classification), up to 32 fingerprinted apps with confidence levels, and the real product total pulled from the store's /collections/all.json endpoint — not the misleading 250-per-page sampling cap that fools other tools.
⭐ WHY STORESPY IS DIFFERENT
Most Shopify spy tools are cloud-based: they upload the stores you analyze to their servers, throttle you behind a paywall, and stop working entirely when their backend has issues. StoreSpy takes the opposite path:
• 100% local analysis — the stores you research never leave your browser
• No signup, no email, no account
• No backend dependency, so it never goes down
• One-time $14.9 lifetime option — no monthly subscription pressure
• Honest free tier: 3 store analyses every day
🎯 KEY FEATURES (4 DIMENSIONS)
1. Store Detection
Five-layer fallback resolves the store name and myshopify.com domain across any Shopify storefront, including custom domains.
2. Theme Detection with Dawn Lineage
Identifies the theme name and classifies it into one of five buckets: Custom, Based on Dawn, Official Dawn, Refresh, or Sense — based on CSS variables and class-prefix thresholds.
3. App Detection (32 Fingerprints)
Recognizes 32 popular Shopify apps including Klaviyo, Loox, PageFly, Judge.me, Recharge, Gorgias, ReConvert, Bold, Yotpo, Privy, Smile.io, and more — using DOM elements, JavaScript globals, script URLs, and CSS class signatures. Every match comes tagged with a confidence level: high (green), medium (yellow), or possible (gray).
4. Real Product Count
Pulls the true total from /collections/all.json — not paginated scraping. Stores with more than 750 products show as "750+" so you're never misled.
🚀 HOW TO USE (3 STEPS)
1. Install StoreSpy and pin the icon to your toolbar.
2. Visit any Shopify store you want to analyze.
3. Click the StoreSpy icon. In about 2 seconds you'll see the full intelligence panel.
That's it. No configuration, no API keys, no setup.
💎 FREE vs PRO
FREE (no signup):
• 3 store analyses per day (resets daily at UTC 0:00)
• Store + theme + first 5 apps + real product total + 1 sample product
• 24-hour local cache (re-opening a recently analyzed store does not consume your daily quota)
PRO ($3.9/month or $14.9 lifetime):
• Unlimited daily analyses
• All detected apps unlocked (no 5-app cap)
• Full sampled product list (up to 750 rows)
• One-click CSV export of Store / Theme / Apps / Products data
• 7-day silent license recheck for monthly plans (offline-tolerant)
The lifetime option is the most popular: a single $14.9 payment removes every limit forever — no recurring charges, no cancellation hassle.
🔒 PRIVACY (100% LOCAL, BY DESIGN)
StoreSpy uses only three browser permissions: storage, activeTab, and scripting. There are no host permissions, no webRequest, no cookies access. The stores you analyze are never sent to any server. The only network call StoreSpy ever makes is to verify a Pro license key after you upgrade — Free users have zero analysis-related network calls outside the Shopify site you're already on.
This is a deliberate architectural choice. Cloud-based competitors monetize the analysis traffic of their users; StoreSpy refuses to.
👥 WHO STORESPY IS FOR

• Theme and app developers studying real-world adoption patterns
• Dropshippers and product researchers validating store quality and catalog depth
• Agencies and consultants auditing client storefronts
• Anyone curious how a particular Shopify store is built
❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do I need to sign up?
A: No. Install and use immediately. There is no email, no account, no login — for both Free and Pro.
Q: Does StoreSpy upload the stores I analyze?
A: No. All analysis runs locally in your browser. The stores you research are never sent to any server.
Q: How accurate is the app detection?
A: StoreSpy fingerprints 32 popular Shopify apps using DOM, scripts, JavaScript globals, and CSS classes. Each match is tagged with a confidence level — high, medium, or possible — so you know how strong each signal is. Apps without a known fingerprint won't be detected.
Q: How is StoreSpy different from Koala Inspector or PPSpy?
A: StoreSpy runs fully locally — no backend dependency. It never goes down when a server has issues, never sends your research to a third party, and costs $14.9 once instead of $9–$29 per month forever.
Q: What does the real product total mean?
A: Other tools show a paginated sample (often capped at 250 per page). StoreSpy reads the true count from /collections/all.json. Stores beyond 750 products display as "750+" to avoid misleading you.
Q: How do I upgrade to Pro?
A: Click any Upgrade button inside the extension. Choose Lifetime ($14.9 one-time) or Monthly ($3.9). Pay via Stripe Checkout, copy the license key from the success page, and paste it into the extension's options page. Done.
Q: Is there a refund policy?
A: Yes. If Pro doesn't meet your expectations, email [email protected] within 7 days for a full refund.
