What is Shopify?
Shopify is a hosted e-commerce platform for online stores.
Signs a site uses Shopify
- cdn.shopify.com in image and script addresses. Shopify serves store files from this domain.
- A Shopify.theme object in the page code. Storefront themes usually define it in an inline script.
- x-shopid or x-shopify-stage response headers. Shopify’s servers add these to the pages they send.
How to check by hand
View the page source and search for shopify. You can also add /admin to the store’s address, because Shopify stores usually redirect to a Shopify login page.
What can hide it
A headless store that uses Shopify only for checkout can show few signs on its main pages. Try the cart or checkout page instead. A negative result doesn’t prove a site isn’t using Shopify, because the checker reads the page source and response headers, and tools loaded later by JavaScript may be missed.
Check the rest of the stack
Paste the address into the Website Technology Checker to see the platform, framework, analytics and more in one report. To see where the site runs, use Who Is Hosting.
Website Technology CheckerFind out what any site runs on: CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, Webflow, Wix, Shopify), forum software (vBulletin, XenForo, phpBB, Discourse), frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, React, Vue), server and CDN, analytics and more — with versions when the site shows them.

How can I tell if a website uses Shopify?
Enter the address in the checker above, or view the page source and look for: cdn.shopify.com in image and script addresses.
Is the Shopify check always accurate?
A match is a strong sign, but no outside check is certain. A headless store that uses Shopify only for checkout can show few signs on its main pages. Try the cart or checkout page instead.
How do I find which Shopify theme a store uses?
View the source and search for Shopify.theme. The name value is the theme, although a store may have renamed it.
