FAQ
Quick answers about what the Storefront Inspector reads and what it flags.
What does the Storefront Inspector do?
What does the Storefront Inspector do?
It shows what anyone can see about your Shopify store through its public data, without logging in: your original myshopify.com address, your city and region, and product details such as vendor names, tags, SKUs, and image file names. It flags anything that may point to your supplier or look unfinished, and tells you how to fix it. You can check any other Shopify store the same way.
How can I tell if a website uses Shopify?
Enter its address. If the inspector can read the store's public files, the site runs on Shopify, and the report shows its original myshopify.com address.
Does the store owner get notified?
No. The check reads the same public files any browser can load. Nothing is sent to the store owner or to CheckoutWorks.
Can it change anything on a store?
No. It only reads public storefront files. It never sees the admin, orders, or customer data, and it cannot edit anything.
Can it see sales, inventory, or the Shopify plan?
No. The public files include prices, variants, and product details, but not sales, order counts, inventory quantities, or the store's plan.
Why couldn't it read a store?
The site may not run on Shopify, may be behind a password page, or may block these files. Headless storefronts often don't serve them either.
Can I hide this information?
Some of it. You can fix vendor names, tags, SKUs, file names, descriptions, and test products in your admin. The myshopify.com address and published product data are part of how every Shopify storefront works.
Something is flagged that isn't from a supplier. Why?
The checks look for patterns, so a flag means worth a look, not proof. Hash-style image names, for example, can also come from design or export tools.
