The checklist
- Confirm the store is Shopify.
- Detect installed apps and group them by job.
- Identify the active theme and confidence.
- Record category, product count, and Shopify Plus status.
- Check connected social profiles.
- Note whether public contact details are available.
- Compare the store against at least three similar stores.
How to keep it useful
Do not collect signals without a question. Decide whether you are benchmarking, prospecting, choosing tools, or researching a category.
Recommended sequence
Start with top stores, run app detection, run theme detection, then read the stack as one operating system.
