How to tell what Shopify theme is being used? Read this post to learn about three practical methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The look and feel of a Shopify store is no less important than its functionality. That\u2019s why picking a unique-looking and visually appealing Shopify theme should be the first thing on every merchant\u2019s mind. One of the ways to do that is to see what themes other online stores have chosen. Suppose you have stumbled upon a theme that you like. What\u2019s next? How can you find out its name in order to download it from the official Shopify theme store? Below, we describe three effective ways to address this task.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

You have decided to launch your online store and opted for Shopify as your e-commerce platform. Excellent choice<\/a>! This system is very easy to set up and run by everyone no matter the technical background.<\/p>\n

It has tons of default features and extensions to facilitate any business operations you might need to perform. These include dropshipping<\/a>, working with social media<\/a>, search engine optimization<\/a>, advertising<\/a>, reporting and analytics<\/a>, managing products and inventory<\/a>, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

All this great functionality, though, can be useless if your store looks boring and dull. The good news is that Shopify helps you define your e-commerce site\u2019s appearance as well.<\/p>\n

At the moment, it offers <\/a>merchants over 80 customizable themes for different wallet sizes and tastes. In addition, you can hire a professional Shopify developer<\/a> to create a truly unique theme<\/a> to make your site one of a kind.<\/p>\n

This diversity is enough to make a beginner\u2019s head spin. Selecting a perfect theme for your niche on the brand Shopify store may seem daunting. There\u2019s an alternative approach. Why not spend some time browsing other sites that sell the same merchandise as you do?<\/p>\n

This brings you several advantages.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can shortlist the stores you would want to imitate (with modifications).<\/li>\n
  2. You can understand what designs don\u2019t work for you.<\/li>\n
  3. You can learn how much a theme costs (if it\u2019s not free) and whether you can afford it painlessly for your business.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can determine if a certain store is based on Shopify by entering inurl:.myshopify.com<\/b> into the address bar or by using this <\/a>site, for example. Once you\u2019ve identified the theme that appeals to you, you need to get its name. Thus, you will be able to find the theme among those the vendor offers in a split second.<\/p>\n

    So, how to find out what Shopify theme a website is using? It\u2019s a piece of cake, really. Just apply one of the three techniques we have described below.<\/p>\n

    How to Tell What Shopify Theme Is Being Used?<\/h2>\n

    #1: The Slowest Way \u2014 Search for the Name in the Site\u2019s Source Code<\/h3>\n

    The first technique we suggest assumes looking under a site\u2019s hood. That is, you will need to do some work with the page source. Don\u2019t let this scare you, though. You don\u2019t have to code or anything like that. You just need to search the site\u2019s internal structure for a specific phrase.<\/p>\n

    So, here\u2019s how to find out what Shopify theme a website is using by viewing its source code:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Enter the inurl:.myshopify.com<\/b> query into the address or search box. That\u2019s a Google-specific operator for filtering down the search results. You will see a list of Shopify-powered sites. We chose a store called Daycrafter, <\/a>currently located on the second results page, but you can click any other link.<\/li>\n
    2. Open the site.<\/li>\n
    3. Use the Ctrl + U key combo (Firefox, Chrome) or CMD + OPT + U (Safari) to bring up a page with the site\u2019s source code.<\/li>\n
    4. Use the Ctrl + F key combo (Firefox, Chrome) or CMD + F (Safari) to bring up the search box.<\/li>\n
    5. Type in shopify.theme<\/b>. This will highlight the place where these words appear on the page. Three lines will be highlighted. The first one contains the word \u201cname.\u201d What comes after the colon is the actual name of the Shopify theme the site is using. In our example, this is \u201cBoundless<\/b>.\u201d\"Shopify.name<\/li>\n
    6. Go to the Shopify theme store<\/a> and type in Boundless <\/b>into the search box. This query will return the corresponding result.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Custom Themes Vs Ready-Made Themes<\/h4>\n

      As we said earlier, many businesses prefer hiring professional Shopify theme developers<\/a> to make a truly outstanding theme to beat the competition. The description of a custom theme in the source code looks a bit different from the description of a theme found on the Shopify brand store.<\/p>\n

      So, on step #5 above, in the first line, find the theme_store_id<\/b> property. If you see a number after the colon, this is a theme you can <\/i>find on the Shopify brand store.<\/p>\n

      By contrast, if you see the word null<\/b> after the colon, it means the theme is custom-made, and you will not find it<\/i> on the Shopify store. Here\u2019s an example<\/a>: \"Null<\/p>\n

      #2: The Golden Mean \u2014 Install an Add-On<\/h3>\n

      If you\u2019re a staunch Google Chrome fan, consider installing an extension such as Shopify theme detector<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve added it to your browser, do the following:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open the site you want to check.<\/li>\n
      2. Click the extension\u2019s icon in the top right corner.<\/li>\n
      3. Select the Shopify Theme Detector<\/b> menu item. The add-on will show you the name of the theme.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        #3: The Easiest Way \u2014 Use Specialized Tools Available on the Internet<\/h3>\n

        There\u2019s an even easier way to tell what Shopify theme is being used. All you need is a site specifically dedicated to identifying Shopify themes. Just enter the query Shopify theme detector<\/b> into the search box. You will see a bunch of sites to choose from.<\/p>\n

        For example, you can use this <\/a>one. Copy and paste the web address of the Shopify site you like into the Website URL <\/b>box and click the Detect Theme<\/strong> button. This will immediately return the name of the theme. You can also find out if it\u2019s custom or ready-made without any more effort on your part.<\/p>\n

        \"How<\/p>\n

        Final Words<\/h2>\n

        Shopify has a variety of ready-made themes you can select from. But merchants first starting out often struggle with the choice of a suitable theme for their specific niche. One way to solve this problem is to review similar online stores, shortlist one with the best-looking theme, and then download it from the official brand store.<\/p>\n

        But how to find out what Shopify theme a website is using? That\u2019s when you can apply one of the three methods we have discussed in this post.<\/p>\n
