Shopify Theme Detector

Koala Inspector is a free Chrome extension and online tool for researching Shopify stores. It reveals a store's best-selling products, the Shopify theme it runs, the apps it has installed, traffic signals, and live ad campaigns. It reads information the store already shows in public pages, and presents this data in a panel within the browser or on the web page. The tool is designed for store owners, marketers, and researchers who want quick visibility into competitors or potential niches without accessing private admin data.

The detector works by reading what the store already shows to visitors and recognizing the underlying Shopify theme. It returns a theme name and, where available, the developer or version. The online tool and the Chrome extension provide the result in seconds, and the detector handles stores that have renamed sections or customized themes. It emphasizes speed and ease, avoiding sign-up walls or slow widgets.

Users can read the result by seeing the theme name and, when possible, the developer and theme type. If a theme is listed, a link to the listing lets users check pricing, demos, and reviews. Recognized theme names like Dawn or Prestige indicate the base theme, aiding decisions about layout or features for their own stores.

It also notes limitations, such as customized or headless stores where detection may fail, and suggests rechecking stores over time as themes change.
