Detect Shopify themes, apps, products, best sellers & store insights. Privacy-first alternative to Commerce Inspector. Shopify Store Inspector - Store Analyzer Stop guessing how the competition is building their storefronts. Start knowing exactly what powers their success. You see a high-converting product page, a seamless checkout process, or a beautifully integrated customer review section. You want to know what theme they are running and which specific applications drive their marketing campaigns. But finding out means digging through chaotic website source code, searching blindly for obscure script tags, or paying hundreds of dollars every single month for subscription intelligence tools that secretly track your every move across the internet. That is the core problem. Store research should be transparent, instant, and entirely private, not hidden behind expensive paywalls and incredibly complex code inspection. WHY E-COMMERCE RESEARCH IS SO HARD Understanding the actual mechanics of a highly successful e-commerce storefront takes significant manual effort and technical expertise. The underlying data you need is technically public, but it is buried entirely within the complex network requests and minified global variables of the page architecture. - Inspecting browser elements requires deep technical knowledge to separate custom development code from standard framework structures. - Identifying marketing applications manually means you have to recognize obscure content delivery network URLs, trace javascript execution, and carefully match those mysterious files to official app store listings. - Gauging a competitor store catalog size, inventory velocity, or pricing strategy involves scrolling through endless pagination, manually recording data points in external spreadsheets, and constantly recalculating averages. - Many market intelligence tools explicitly exploit this difficulty. They charge steep monthly subscription fees while covertly harvesting your browsing data, essentially making you the product to feed their own massive analytics engines. Most store owners, dropshippers, and freelance developers simply give up and guess. They choose the wrong theme layout, completely miss out on critical conversion-boosting applications, and launch their new brands with a severe technical and strategic disadvantage. This extension exists to make advanced technical store analysis accessible directly from your browser, completely free of charge. WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES Shopify Store Inspector is a lightweight, strictly privacy-first browser side panel that instantly reveals the hidden infrastructure behind any supported e-commerce store you visit. It runs entirely locally within your own browser instance, analyzing public storefront data without ever sending your research targets to a remote intelligence server. You do not need confusing spreadsheets. You do not need to dig through browser developer tools. You do not need to worry about aggressive data harvesting. Here is exactly what you get when you run this tool: INSTANT THEME DETECTION — Instantly identifies the exact layout theme powering the visible storefront. It reliably detects both official marketplace theme releases and highly customized development environments. It provides the internal theme name, the exact version number running on the live site, and the original author information. COMPREHENSIVE APP STACK ANALYSIS — Scans the live frontend source code to accurately detect active third-party applications. It identifies customer review widgets, urgency countdown timers, email marketing capture popups, and post-purchase upsell solutions, showing you exactly what the store utilizes to maximize their conversion rates. DETAILED PRODUCT CATALOG INSIGHTS — Extracts and clearly summarizes public product catalog data. It provides a comprehensive overview of the total store catalog size, minimum and maximum price ranges, and active product variants. This feature helps you understand a competitor's pricing boundaries and inventory strategy without manually counting hundreds of individual items. NEWEST PRODUCT DISCOVERY TRACKING — Automatically identifies and highlights the most recently added catalog products on the storefront. This specific insight allows you to see exactly what new items the brand is currently testing, pushing to their target audience, or spending their advertising budget on. STORE METADATA EXTRACTION — Gathers critical public store information, connected social media profiles, and visible contact channels into one clean, readable interface. It helps you rapidly understand their entire multi-channel marketing presence and brand footprint at a single glance. LIVE AUTO-DETECTION AND REFRESH — Operates seamlessly and quietly in the background as you naturally browse the web. The moment you navigate to a completely different e-commerce store, the analytical insights and data points update automatically without requiring manual page reloads or forced system scans. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pin the extension directly to your main browser toolbar for permanent, easy access. 2. Visit any e-commerce storefront you want to analyze or research. 3. Click the extension icon once to open the native browser side panel UI. 4. View the extracted analytical theme, app stack, and product insights instantly populated on the screen. That is absolutely it. You get immediate, highly technical visibility while remaining on the exact web page you are currently researching and observing. WHY THE SIDE PANEL DESIGN Traditional competitor inspector extensions heavily rely on floating popup windows that frustratingly disappear the exact second you click away. If you want to actually interact with the store, scroll further down the page to view a footer, or copy information to your notes, the popup aggressively closes, forcing you to start your analysis completely over again. By actively utilizing the native Chrome Side Panel API introduced in recent browser architecture updates, your critical research stays permanently open and visible alongside the active storefront. You can freely navigate through different product collections, read long customer reviews, and simulate the checkout process, all while the technical insights remain securely pinned to the right side of your screen. It ultimately creates a seamless, highly productive side-by-side research environment instead of an obstructive, temporary overlay. LOCAL DATA EXPORT WITH ONE CLICK Raw information is only truly useful if you can effectively act on it immediately. Every single technical insight, app name, and theme version discovered by this browser extension can be easily copied heavily to your system clipboard with a single button click. If you are actively compiling a list of mandatory conversion apps to install, or gathering themes to thoroughly evaluate for a freelance client presentation, you can instantly move the structured data to your own project management notes. All processed data is stored locally in your computer memory, and absolutely nothing is sent to any external tracking server. REAL SCENARIOS WHERE THIS HELPS FINDING HIGH-CONVERTING THEMES FOR NEW BRANDS: You are launching a brand new premium apparel brand and finally find a competitor storefront with a masonry layout that perfectly showcases lifestyle imagery. Instead of scrolling blindly through hundreds of generic options in the official marketplace, you open the side panel, precisely identify the exact theme name and version number, and purchase it directly to save weeks of custom design work. REPLICATING SUCCESSFUL APP STACKS AND FUNNELS: You notice a specific niche store always maintains incredibly high engagement and cart urgency. You clearly see their highly customized countdown timer and sticky, animated add-to-cart button. The extension detects the precise third-party applications powering these specific visual features, allowing you to install the exact same software tools on your own store in a matter of minutes. ANALYZING MARKET PRICING STRATEGIES: You are actively entering the highly competitive, premium home goods niche. You rigorously analyze three top tier performers in the space and use the product catalog insights tab to discover their entire catalog actually ranges from $45 to $120. You confidently use this critical, aggregated data to reposition your initially planned $25 budget products, quickly realizing the specific market actively supports a much higher premium price point. SPYING ON NEW ADVERTISING RELEASES: A direct competing dropshipping store is rapidly scaling its daily advertising spend across social media. You heavily utilize the newest product tracking feature to identify exactly which three secret items they quietly added to their backend storefront this current week, giving you direct, actionable insight into what specific inventory they are currently testing on paid social media channels. AGENCY WEB DEVELOPMENT AND CLIENT AUDITS: You successfully run a digital web development agency currently pitching a complete storefront redesign to a highly lucrative prospective client. Before the initial introduction call, you quietly use the extension to instantly audit their current outdated theme version and massive application bloat. You confidently use this precise technical data on the call to explain exactly why their site is currently loading extremely slowly and exactly how your agency will definitively fix it. VALIDATING SUPPLIER INVENTORY ESTIMATES: You are researching a potential new wholesale supplier who claims to have thousands of active stock keeping units. You navigate to their wholesale portal, open the side panel, and instantly verify their total publicly visible product count matches their aggressive sales claims, saving you from partnering with an artificially inflated vendor.
