Question 1

A Shopify detector is a tool that analyzes the frontend code of a Shopify store to identify the theme being used.

Question 2

Can I use the ZIK Shopify Detector to find out if an online store is using a custom theme?

Accepted Answer

While our Shopify Theme finder can identify many publicly available Shopify themes, it may not always detect custom-built or heavily modified themes.

Question 3

Is using a theme detector for Shopify legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, using our tool to detect Shopify themes is legal. We identify publicly available themes used by Shopify stores, thus it is within the terms of service of both Shopify and the theme developers.

Question 4

Is this tool accurate in finding the theme of Shopify stores?

Accepted Answer

The accuracy of a theme detector can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the theme and any customizations made to it. Generally, theme detectors provide reliable results for well-known and widely used Shopify themes, be they paid themes or free to use.

Question 5

Which themes are best for Shopify Dropshipping?

Accepted Answer

While there are many themes commonly used by dropshippers, we have always found that it is better to match your theme to your niche - rather than the model that you choose for selling online. This is because your customer avatar is more likely to gravitate towards certain designs based on niche.

Question 6

Are there any limitations to using this tool?

Accepted Answer

While our tool can provide valuable insights, it may not always detect themes with high accuracy, especially if the theme has been heavily customized or if it is custom-built.

Question 7

Will this tell me if a theme is responsive?

Accepted Answer

No, this tool primarily identifies the theme being used and does not provide information about its responsiveness. However, you can manually test the responsiveness of a Shopify theme by resizing your browser window or using responsive design testing tools to make more informed decisions when choosing your theme.

Question 8

Does Shopify offer an official theme detector tool?

Accepted Answer

No, Shopify does not provide an official theme detector tool. Third-party detector services and tools are available for this purpose.

Question 9

Will this tool allow me to identically copy another store's design?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately not. While selecting the same theme is a big part of this - you still need to further customize your store and store apps from inside your Shopify admin to achieve a similar design to a competitor's store.

Question 10

How can I manually identify a Shopify theme name?

Accepted Answer

Do you constantly find themes that you like, and want to be able to identify the same theme yourself? We have no secrets here at ZIK. While we want to make this process as simple, quick, and efficient as possible for you - we understand that some people just love to know how things work under the hood. Here are the steps to identify a Shopify theme yourself without the use of any online tools: Open your Chrome browser and go to View > Developer > View Source. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Command + Shift + U (For Mac users) or Control + U (For PC users). Locate the theme identifier by searching for the string 'shopify.theme' in the source code. You will find a long string that looks like this: Shopify.theme = {"name":"Berlin","id":138424484057,"theme_store_id":2138,"role":"main"}; In this example, the Shopify theme name is "Berlin". There you have it, you are now a bonafide developer, and have identified your first Shopify Theme.

Question 11

Is this also a Shopify app detector?

Accepted Answer

Currently, this tool acts as a theme detector only. However, if you would like to discover all the apps being used by the store in question, then please check out our "Sales Tracker" tool.
