ShopEyes separates store-specific lookups from published ranking snapshots. Re-run the detector when a current store decision matters, and read the visible snapshot date before citing a Top Apps, Top Themes, or Top Stores page.
Live lookups versus published snapshots
- Store detector pages run a store-specific lookup and may reuse a recent cache to respond faster.
- Homepage screenshots are captured asynchronously and can appear after the first result.
- Top Apps, Top Themes, and Top Stores are published datasets with a visible snapshot date; they are not real-time market rankings.
- Radar briefs are dated editorial summaries and should be read with their publication date and cited sources.
Current published snapshot dates
- Top Shopify Apps snapshot: June 9, 2026.
- Top Shopify Themes snapshot: June 8, 2026.
- Top 100 Shopify Stores snapshot: June 26, 2026.
When to refresh a result
Re-run a store lookup before outreach, an agency audit, a migration recommendation, or any decision where an app or theme may have changed. Confirm important findings on the current storefront and with an additional source.
How to cite ShopEyes responsibly
Name the page, include the lookup or snapshot date, and describe findings as public storefront signals. Do not present a detected app list as a private or complete merchant technology inventory.

FAQ
How fresh is ShopEyes data?
Live detector results should be refreshed for a specific store. Published top-data and report pages are snapshots with visible update dates.
Does ShopEyes access private Shopify admin data?
No. ShopEyes only reads public storefront signals and does not access private Shopify admin data, customer data, payment data, or hidden backend tools.
Is ShopEyes free?
Yes. The core Shopify theme detector and Shopify app detector are free to use for public storefront research.
Why are some apps not detected?
Some apps do not expose a public storefront signal. Others run server side, only appear after login, or are hidden inside checkout or private account flows.
Should I copy a competitor's app stack?
No. Treat detected apps as clues about a store's workflow, not a checklist to copy. The better question is what job each app appears to solve.
