FAQ
Explore our FAQs about our app detector tool for detailed answers and insights.
How does the Koala Shopify App Detector work?+
Our tool scans the public code of a Shopify store to detect and list the apps that are being used. It identifies app scripts and other relevant data to give you a complete list of the apps running on the site.
Can every Shopify app be detected?+
Not every Shopify app can be detected. While many public apps leave identifiable traces such as scripts, metadata, or widgets, private apps and heavily customized installations often do not. Some store owners also use code obfuscation or backend-only integrations, making certain apps invisible to front-end scanning tools. As a result, Shopify app detectors can usually identify most major public apps, but complete 100% detection is not always guaranteed.
Is the Shopify App Detector free to use?+
Yes! The Koala Inspector's Shopify App Detector feature is free to use forever.
Is it legal to use a Shopify App Detector?+
Yes. App detection tools analyze publicly available information such as page scripts and metadata, which are accessible to any website visitor. They do not breach security, access restricted databases, or interact with backend systems. Conducting competitive research through publicly visible resources is a common and accepted practice in ecommerce, provided it doesn't involve unauthorized access or misuse of proprietary information.
Is it against Shopify's terms of service to use app detectors?+
Using Shopify App Detectors is not explicitly against Shopify's Terms of Service, but scraping or reverse-engineering store data may violate policies if done excessively or for malicious purposes. Shopify prohibits unauthorized data harvesting, so use of detectors should remain ethical and non-invasive.
Do app detectors affect the performance of the site being analyzed?+
Shopify App Detectors do not affect the performance of the site being analyzed because they only scan publicly available frontend code. These tools operate externally and do not interact with the server or alter any resources, making them passive and non-intrusive by design.
Can I use Shopify App Detector for my own store?+
Absolutely! Many store owners use Shopify App Detector to audit their own stores, ensuring that all installed apps are correctly identified and functioning as intended.
Do you offer customer support?+
Yes, we offer customer support for both free and premium users. You can contact us through our support page or via email, and our team will be happy to assist you.
What are the system requirements?+
There are no special system requirements but you will need to have the Google Chrome web browser installed on your computer. Koala Inspector is downloaded onto your browser and accessed via the pinned shelf.
