Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a website is built on Shopify?
The fastest way is to paste the address into the checker above. By hand, open the page source and search for cdn.shopify.com or Shopify.theme. Shopify stores also answer on /products.json and often show "myshopify.com" references.
Can a Shopify store hide that it uses Shopify?
Mostly no. Even headless stores built on Hydrogen or Next.js use Shopify checkout and usually load assets from Shopify's CDN. Some sites block automated checks, in which case the manual methods below still work.
Does checkout reveal Shopify?
Yes. Shopify checkout runs on checkout.shopify.com or on the store domain with a /checkouts/ path, and shows Shopify's payment layout.
