Store Detector icon

Turn any Shopify store into an open book.

Store Detector reads any Shopify storefront and drops a sidebar of competitive intel — traffic, ads, apps, products, theme, and SEO — right on the page. One click. No dashboards. No exports.

The problem

Competitor research is tab soup.

You want to know what a store is running. So you open SimilarWeb, then a theme detector, then an app spy, then the ad library, then PageSpeed — five tools, five tabs, five logins, and you still haven't looked at the actual store.

01

Scattered signals

Traffic here, apps there, ads somewhere else. Nothing lives on the same screen as the store you're studying.

02

Guesswork on the build

Which theme? Which apps? What sections? You're reverse-engineering from screenshots and hunches.

03

Slow, and it breaks flow

By the time you've assembled the picture, you've lost the thread on why you were looking in the first place.

What it detects

Six tabs. One sidebar. Zero tabs opened.

Land on any Shopify store and Store Detector lights up. Everything below is one click away, in context, on the page.

Traffic

Real visitor data

Monthly visits, global rank, traffic sources, and top countries — pulled live for the store you're on.

Ads

Ad activity

See how many ads a brand is running in the Meta Ad Library, plus their social following at a glance.

Apps

Installed apps

The Shopify apps powering the store — reviews, upsells, subscriptions, page builders — surfaced automatically.

Products

Catalog & pricing

Products, currency, and market signals scraped straight from the storefront so you can size up the offer.

Theme

Theme & page structure

The theme in use and a section-by-section breakdown of the page — with a one-click prompt to clone any section.

SEO

Keywords & Core Web Vitals

Top organic keywords and real-user Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) — the SEO picture without leaving the page.

How it works

Install once. It just appears.

1

Add it to Chrome

One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account required to start detecting.

2

Browse Shopify stores like normal

Store Detector quietly recognizes Shopify storefronts. The toolbar icon lights up when you're on one.

3

Open the sidebar

Traffic, Ads, Apps, Products, Theme, and SEO — all in context, right beside the store.

4

Sign in to unlock the pro layer

AI Systems Club members unlock premium signals like organic keywords and saved favorites.

Questions

The honest FAQ

Is Store Detector free?

Yes. Core detection — traffic, ads, apps, products, theme, and basic SEO — is free with the Chrome extension. A few premium signals (like organic keyword rankings and saved favorites) unlock with an AI Systems Club membership.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to start detecting stores. Signing in with your email unlocks the member-only features. There's no password — just a one-time code.

What data does it collect about me?

It analyzes the public Shopify storefronts you visit to build a shared store-intelligence dataset. It does not track your general browsing, and your data is never sold. Full details are in the Store Detector Privacy Policy.

Does it work on every store?

Store Detector activates on Shopify storefronts. On non-Shopify sites it stays dormant — the toolbar icon simply shows "Not a Shopify Store."

Will it slow down my browsing?

No. Detection runs off lightweight response-header checks, and the heavier data only loads when you open the sidebar for a store you're actually looking at.

Who makes it?

Store Detector is built and maintained by the team behind AI Systems Club™, a membership for builders who ship AI systems instead of collecting tutorials.
