How to Find out What Shopify Theme a Store is Using

A Shopify theme is a template that offers the basic design of the website. Different themes will have different layouts, styles and features. This will lead to unique experiences for visitors. A theme isn’t just about looks, it is about the branding of your website.

You can buy themes from the Theme Store on Shopify or privately like the Booster theme.

Websites all have code that have to be used to display on a browser. Within the code, is usually the name of the theme. Therefore, it can be very easy to find out what the theme is that is being used. There are some quick and easy ways for this to happen. These methods include:

You can check by using the page source. This can be found using the ‘Ctrl+u’ shortcode in Chrome or ‘Ctrl+Shift+C’ on Firefox. Then in the tab that appears, you can use the find function to search for ‘Shopify.theme’ to find the code listing the name of the theme.

Sometimes you will find that the theme is a custom one. Therefore, you can’t buy it from the Theme store or a private seller.

You might also see a number. If you copy that number and then use Google search with the term, ‘Shopify Theme’ and then add the number that was in the code. This should return the theme for you.

Another option is to use the Shop Theme Detector here. You can install a Chrome Extension that is full compatible with your own device and then within seconds of landing on a Shopify website, you can get the name of the theme.

There are also some extra extensions that can be used to find out what themes are being used on a shop.

If you’re a developer, then there are some great Chrome DevTools that allow you to discover what Shopify theme is being used for any store. However, this option can be more technical and if you’re not a developer, this might not be the best option.
