How to See What Apps a Shopify Store Uses

The SalesTracker App Detector tells you which apps power any Shopify storefront, grouped by category with a confidence level on each find. It runs a live scan with a free SalesTracker account and uses one credit per lookup. Start from the Shopify App Detector tool.

How to see what apps a Shopify store uses

You only need the store's domain. The detector reads the live storefront the same way a normal visitor's browser would, so the merchant sees nothing different from any other page view.

How to read the detected app list

The Installed Apps list is organized by category so you can scan a store's stack the way you would plan your own. Categories include marketing, reviews, analytics, upsells, subscriptions, payments, and more.

Read it from two angles:

• By category. A reviews app like Judge.me Product Reviews or a loyalty app like LoyaltyLion tells you where the store invests in retention and social proof. Payment markers such as Shop Pay show how checkout is built.
• By confidence. Each detection shows a confidence level. High-confidence finds are strong public signals on the storefront; treat lower-confidence finds as likely rather than certain, and confirm them before you act on them.

Use cases: competitor tech research

Knowing a store's app stack turns guesswork into a checklist. Use the App Detector to:

• Benchmark a competitor. See which review, upsell, and loyalty apps a rival runs, then decide where to match them and where to differentiate.
• Vet a partner or supplier. Confirm a store is using credible, mainstream apps before you commit to a relationship.
• Plan your own build. Detect Shopify apps across several stores in your niche to find the tools that show up again and again, a fast shortcut to a proven stack.

For the fullest picture, pair the App Detector with the Shopify Theme Detector so you know both the theme and the app stack behind a storefront.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see what apps a Shopify store uses?

Paste the store's domain into the SalesTracker App Detector and click Detect. It scans the live storefront and lists the installed Shopify apps by category, each with a confidence level.

Is the App Detector free?

The App Detector runs a live scan that needs a free SalesTracker account and uses one credit per lookup. Free accounts see up to 5 detected apps per store; Pro reveals the complete app list and adds CSV export.

How does SalesTracker detect Shopify apps?

It fingerprints the live storefront's scripts and markers against a database of known Shopify apps, then reports each match with a confidence level. It reads only public storefront pages, so the merchant sees a normal visit.

Can I export a store's app stack?

Yes, with Pro. A free account shows up to 5 detected apps per store on screen, while Pro unlocks the full app list and a CSV export you can drop into a spreadsheet for side-by-side comparison.
