Shopify Theme Selection

How to find Shopify stores as a reference for a specific theme

Shopify theme selection for your store. With this Shopify hack you can find sample stores for a specific theme, but on the other hand you can also check if the store you like was created with Shopify and which theme was used. Learn how to do that in this Shopify tutorial.

Shopify Theme Selection - Shopify advanced tip

This Shopify hack is aimed at the more advanced merchants or even the very savvy merchants who don’t just try Shopify, but already know exactly what they want. Namely, we’ll show you a hack to get inspiration for your Shopify theme design. This becomes even more important if you really want to invest money in a professional template.

How to find references for the theme

These can be found for example on themes.shopify.com. As you can see, the selection is also relatively large and each theme can be closely examined via Live View. So you are not buying a pig in a poke.
Nevertheless, it would be great to have references to this theme, i.e. practical examples in which the theme was adapted for a certain industry. So you can see what is possible and what is not.
You can do this by scrolling down to the review section. Since those who write a review usually must have already used this theme and very often give the name of their store here, we can take advantage of this and search for it on Google.

Shopify Theme Selection - Theme Detect by Shop Theme Detector

As you can see in the Shopify screencast, the first attempt is also a hit.
But to be on the safe side, that it really is this theme, we give you another tip along the way. On shopthemedetector.com you can enter the URL of your reference store and check on the one hand whether the respective store was built with Shopify and if so which theme was used.

Shopify Theme Selection Practice Example

Now we do this once for our reference store and learn that the store was actually built with the “Streamline Theme”. Don’t be surprised, sometimes the code is changed, which then also includes the changed theme name in the code and is displayed here. This means that if someone wants to, they can disguise which theme was used by changing the code.
In most cases, however, you will be lucky with this method.

Template determine practical example

On the other hand, as I said, you can also look for stores in your industry without the reviews in the Google search.
A bspw. could be “CBD oils”. We therefore enter“CBD oils original” and take the first organic hit. Presumably, this one will not have been built on Shopify base, which Shopify Theme Detector also confirms us.
