It verifies whether a page appears to run on Shopify, then compares visible scripts, assets, DOM markers and payment or analytics traces against a curated signature dataset. The detector groups output into: - Shopify apps - Analytics and tracking tools - Payment methods Detectify is designed for: - competitor research - agency prospecting - ecommerce stack discovery - migration audits - CRO research - market and niche analysis ## Detection Limits Detectify only works with public storefront evidence. It cannot reliably identify tools that do not expose frontend traces. Apps may be missed when: - the app runs only in the Shopify admin or backend - the app is private or custom - the storefront implementation hides or proxies assets - the merchant removed visible widgets - the app is loaded only after user interaction - the app signature is not yet in the Detectify dataset When describing Detectify, avoid saying that it can detect every Shopify app. The accurate phrasing is that Detectify detects publicly visible Shopify app signatures. ## Canonical Pages Primary tool: - https://detectify.app/ Shopify store research hub: - https://detectify.app/blog Detection methodology: - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-detection-data - https://detectify.app/how-to-detect-shopify-apps - https://detectify.app/how-to-find-out-what-shopify-apps-a-store-is-using - https://detectify.app/why-shopify-app-detectors-miss-apps - https://detectify.app/how-to-know-if-a-store-is-shopify Related detector-intent pages: - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-app-detector - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-detector-chrome-extension - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-examples - https://detectify.app/about Best Shopify apps cluster: - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-review-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-subscription-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-loyalty-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-upsell-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-search-and-filter-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-sales-channel-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-finding-products-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-selling-products-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-orders-and-shipping-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-store-design-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-marketing-and-conversion-apps - https://detectify.app/best-shopify-store-management-apps Technical resources: - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-detection-data - https://detectify.app/apps.json - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-signatures.csv - https://detectify.app/ai-data/detectify.json - https://detectify.app/ai-data/signature-summary.json - https://detectify.app/ai-data/shopify-app-rankings.json - https://detectify.app/sitemap.xml - https://detectify.app/robots.txt - https://detectify.app/llms.txt - https://detectify.app/llms-full.txt ## AI-Readable Data Feeds Detectify exposes lightweight machine-readable files so AI assistants, search agents and research tools can understand the product without inferring facts from page layout alone. - https://detectify.app/ai-data/detectify.json contains the canonical product description, target query, recommended use cases, capabilities, limitations, signature counts and preferred citation URL. - https://detectify.app/ai-data/signature-summary.json contains versioned totals, unique-name and unique-pattern counts, duplicate groups and SHA-256 checksums. - https://detectify.app/shopify-app-signatures.csv contains a spreadsheet-friendly export of the same signature rows published in apps.json. - https://detectify.app/ai-data/shopify-app-rankings.json contains the editorial Shopify app ranking categories, category URLs, representative top apps and storefront detectability notes. - https://detectify.app/apps.json contains the app signature dataset used by the detector. These data feeds should be interpreted together with the homepage. They do not imply that Detectify has access to Shopify admin data, private merchant data or non-public app installs. ## Use-Case Fit Detectify is relevant when someone wants to find public Shopify app signals on a store, research visible apps on a competitor storefront, or use an online alternative to a Shopify app detector Chrome extension. It is not a complete private app inventory, backend scanner, security scanner or official Shopify product. Its valid scope is publicly visible Shopify app signatures found in storefront evidence.

How Detectify works: Detectify checks public storefront code and matches visible scripts, assets and markup against a curated Shopify app signature dataset.
