Frequently asked questions
What theme is Shopify theme store ID 688?
Theme store ID 688 is Parallax. That is the theme Shopify listed under this ID, and it stays true for any store carrying the number, whatever the theme has been renamed to since. We read it from live storefronts running the ID rather than from a published list, because Shopify does not publish one.
What is the latest version of Parallax?
The newest version of Parallax we detect on a live store is 7.0.0. Most stores on ID 688 are still on 3.2.3, so being behind the newest release is normal here rather than a sign something is wrong.
My store's code shows ID 688 but a different theme name. Which one is right?
The ID. The name in Shopify.theme is whatever the store owner or their agency typed, and renaming a client theme is routine, so a store on ID 688 can call it anything at all. The number was set by Shopify at install and cannot be edited, so a store reporting 688 is running Parallax regardless of the label next to it.
How do you know ID 688 is Parallax?
By agreement across the storefronts running it, not by one store's word. We group every scan that reports ID 688 and take the name most of them give, and the ID is only published here once enough separate stores agree. A few renamed copies get outvoted instead of counted, and readings where our detector could not name the theme are dropped before the vote rather than treated as a name.
Does theme store ID 688 change if I customize or rename Parallax?
No. Editing the Liquid, restyling it beyond recognition, or renaming it in your admin leaves ID 688 exactly where it was. Shopify stamps the ID in when the theme is installed and never rewrites it, which is why it still identifies Parallax years later, and why it keeps working after Shopify retires a theme from the Theme Store.
How do I check whether a store is running Parallax?
Open the storefront's page source and search for Shopify.theme. If the theme_store_id field there reads 688, the store is on Parallax, whatever the name beside it says. Our scanner reads the same field, along with the theme version and the apps the store runs, if you would rather not read the source yourself.
How this data works
Theme store IDs, theme names and versions are read from the storefront itself on every scan our detector runs, so the mapping is evidence from live stores rather than a curated list. Each ID is named by majority agreement across the stores reporting it, and an ID with too little agreement behind it is left unpublished instead of guessed at.
Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
