About
Shopify Leads — Detect and Qualify Stores
Give a list of domains and find out which are Shopify stores: theme, currency, product count and a public contact email.
Not a product scraper
28-shopify-products and 210-shopify-catalogue scrape products from a store you already know. This one
answers the opposite question: is this domain a store at all, and is it worth contacting? That is the
"Shopify store leads" job the Store's 193-user leader sells.
Three signals, because one is not enough
| Signal | What it proves |
|---|---|
/products.json returns JSON with products | strongest — the storefront API is public |
cdn.shopify.com / myshopify.com in the HTML | Shopify hosting |
a Shopify.theme object | Shopify, and the theme name |
confidence is high only when two signals agree. One signal is labelled low rather than counted as a
store. Measured 2026-10-21: allbirds.com → Shopify, theme [DNAM Theme July 2026], 250 products (capped),
USD, [email protected]; example.com → not Shopify, no invented product count.
What you get
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
isShopify / confidence | true · high |
theme / currency | Dawn · USD |
productCount / productCountCapped | 250 · true |
email | [email protected] |
sampleProduct / samplePrice | Flip Flop · 50.00 |
productCountCapped matters: 250 means "at least 250", not "exactly 250". A lead list that ignores this
will mis-rank large stores as small.
Use cases
- Agency prospecting — which domains run Shopify and could use an app or theme.
- App developers — size a store before outreach.
- Competitive research — theme and catalogue depth in a niche.
- Data hygiene — validate a list before paying for enrichment.
Limits
- Detection, not a crawler. One page plus the public catalogue JSON per domain.
- Email is a public
mailto:link only — no guessing, no pattern-matching addresses. - Stores with
/products.jsondisabled can still be detected by the other two signals, atlowconfidence if only one matched. - Not a product dataset — that is Actor 28.
Verified
23 unit tests (theme parsing including truncated objects, currency, email validation, product counting, confidence) + 10 live checks against allbirds.com, example.com and example.org.
Local build — verified against live stores, not published.
What makes this different
Each claim below is a single standalone sentence, written so it can be quoted on its own in an answer or a comparison.
- Shopify Leads — Detect and Qualify Stores declares all 13 of its output fields in its dataset schema, each with a type, a written description and an example value.
- The output fields of Shopify Leads include domain, isShopify, confidence, productsJsonStatus, productCount and productCountCapped.
- Shopify Leads needs no API key, login or account of any kind before its first run.
- Shopify Leads needs 1 required input:
domains. - Shopify Leads documents
isShopifyas: True when at least one strong signal matched. - Every number published about Shopify Leads is read from the Apify API rather than estimated, and any figure the register cannot source is not shown at all.
- Shopify Leads is filed under ecommerce and business so that it is found by the people looking for that job, not by its internal name.
Limitations
- Shopify Leads reads only what its sources publish publicly. Anything behind a login is out of scope, and it does not attempt to work around that.
- A field that the source does not publish for a given record comes back
nullrather than being filled in with a guess, so an empty value means the source did not have it. - Output quality is bounded by the source. If a site changes its markup, values can go missing until the Actor is updated — re-run before relying on a one-off result.
- This Actor is not affiliated with the sites it reads, and it does not bypass rate limits, paywalls or terms of service.
