How to find out what theme a Shopify store is using

Every Shopify storefront reports its theme in the page code. Here are three ways to read it, from fastest to most manual.

1. Use a free theme detector

Paste the store's address into the Shopify theme detector. It returns the theme name and version, plus the apps and marketing tools the store runs.

2. Use a Chrome extension while you browse

If you check stores often, Store Inspector shows the theme the moment you click its icon on any store, together with best sellers, prices and new launches.

3. Read the page source yourself

1. Open the store and press Ctrl+U (Windows) or ⌥⌘U (Mac) to view the source.
2. Press Ctrl/⌘+F and search for Shopify.theme.
3. You'll see something like Shopify.theme = {"name":"Dawn","id":1234,"schema_name":"Dawn","schema_version":"15.0.0","theme_store_id":887}.

schema_name is the real theme. name is whatever the store renamed its copy to (for example "Dawn – September sale"), so trust schema_name first.

Free, paid or custom?

• Free Shopify themes include Dawn, Horizon, Refresh, Sense, Craft, Studio, Taste, Crave, Ride, Colorblock, Spotlight, Origin, Publisher and Trade.
• Paid Theme Store themes have a theme_store_id. Search the name on the Shopify Theme Store to see the price and demo.
• Custom themes usually have no theme_store_id and a brand-specific name, like the ones used by many large DTC brands.

What if the name looks wrong?

Agencies often rename themes, and headless stores (built with Hydrogen or another framework) don't use a Liquid theme at all. In those cases no theme name appears, and a detector will say so rather than guess.
