How to Find the Shopify Stores in a List of Websites

To find the Shopify stores in a list of websites, paste the list into the website host checker and filter the platform column to Shopify. Each site's CNAME, A, NS and MX records and the headers of one home-page request are matched against the setups Shopify and other platforms publish, and each row shows the record or header that matched.

Find Shopify stores with the checker

1. Clean the website column first: one domain per line, no paths or UTM tags. Turning a website column into clean domains covers the edge cases.
2. Open the website host checker and paste up to 100 sites, or 500 after a free Google sign-in. Full URLs and email addresses are reduced to their domain.
3. Press Find the host.
4. Filter the platform column to Shopify.
5. Download the CSV. It includes the evidence for each match, the DNS host and the email provider.

Check by hand

For one site:

curl -sI https://www.example-store.com | grep -i -E "powered-by|x-shopid|^server"
dig +short CNAME www.example-store.com

On 8 November 2026 a Shopify store we checked returned powered-by: Shopify (alongside server: cloudflare), and its www CNAME was shops.myshopify.com. For a list:

while read d; do
  h=$(curl -sI --max-time 10 "https://$d" | grep -i -c "powered-by: shopify")
  echo "$d $h"
done < sites.txt

A 1 means the header was seen; a 0 means it wasn't, which isn't proof the site isn't on Shopify.

What detection misses

• CDN in front. Some stores sit behind Cloudflare or another CDN that strips identifying headers. These show as the CDN.
• Headless stores. A store using Shopify only for checkout, with the storefront on another platform, shows that platform.
• Redirects. The checker reads the first response and doesn't follow redirects, so check the domain the store actually lives on.

Next step: verify the store contacts

Store contact addresses scraped from websites go stale. Before outreach, upload them at /verify: each mailbox is checked without sending, and you can export valid, risky and invalid rows separately. The first 100 checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card. If you sell to merchants with their own customer lists, exporting Shopify customers to an email list covers the other side.

Pro, $39 a month: Unlimited email verification.* Never metered, never cut off. See pricing.

*Fair use: the first 100,000 checks a month at full speed, then slower, never cut off.
