How To Identify If A Website Is A Shopify Site

Detecting whether a website belongs to Shopify isn't a complex task, but you might be curious about why such identification is valuable. The rationale behind discerning a Shopify site can be twofold.

Firstly, in the context of our Discord community, we employ specialized bots capable of operating on almost any Shopify website. For context, if a website is a Shopify site, we can set up restock or scraper monitors for almost any of the products that they offer.

Secondly, with Shopify sites, we have bots that can create a customized Add To Cart (ATC) URL link that directly adds items to your cart. This feature allows us to bypass having to open a product page on release and gives us an edge in obtaining limited edition drops more quickly.

How to Identify if a website is a Shopify site

1. Navigate to the website you wish to check and then right click on the page and select "View page source".

1. Once inside the page source hit CTRL+F to bring up the find function and type Shopify. If anything appears that states "Shopify" then you can be confident it is a Shopify store.

Here are some example Shopify websites you can test: https://shoplanadelrey.com https://www.staples.ca https://timex.ca Edit: as of November 2023 we have added a bot into our server that can auto detect Shopify sites for you. In the #bot-commands channel, use the command /is-shopify <url> This will automatically check the site for you and inform you if the site is a Shopify site or not.
