What the store checker does

The store checker tells you whether a website is a Shopify store, a WooCommerce store, or neither. It uses the same detection Findora runs before every product discovery: it looks for the public product list that every open Shopify store publishes, and for the public WooCommerce Store API that WordPress shops with WooCommerce provide. Custom domains work too, so you don't need to know the store's myshopify address.

When the store makes them public, the checker also shows the store's currency and how many products it lists. Shopify stores usually share both. WooCommerce stores report their product count through the Store API and show their currency with each price. If a store keeps this information private, the checker says so instead of guessing.

How to use it

Paste the store's address, for example its home page or any product page, and press Check store. Findora first reads the store's robots.txt file and only continues if the store allows it. It then sends at most one request per second, so the store is never overloaded. A check usually takes a few seconds.

Each check uses 1 credit, and only when there is a result to show. If the address isn't a public Shopify or WooCommerce store, is password-protected, or its robots.txt asks tools like Findora not to read its products, you see the reason and no credit is used. If you check the same store again within 24 hours, you see your saved result without using another credit, and you can choose to check again.

Why it matters

Knowing the platform tells you what you can do next. Shopify and WooCommerce stores have different import formats, different apps and different ways of organizing products, so it is the first question to answer before you research a competitor, plan a migration or quote a client for product uploads.

The product count gives you a sense of scale: a store with 40 products is a different project from one with 4,000. And the currency tells you which market a store is selling to, which matters when you compare prices. Once you know a store is supported, you can discover its full product list in Findora and export it to a CSV for Shopify or WooCommerce.

Frequently asked questions

How does the checker know which platform a store uses?

It reads the public product list that every open Shopify store publishes (products.json) and checks for Shopify's response headers. For WooCommerce, it reads the public Store API that WooCommerce adds to WordPress shops. Only public pages are read, never anything behind a login.

Does it work with custom domains?

Yes. Most Shopify and WooCommerce stores use their own domain, and the checker works the same way for them. You don't need the store's myshopify.com address.

Why is the product count or currency missing?

Some stores don't make them public. Shopify stores usually share both; some WooCommerce stores hide their totals. The checker shows only what the store publishes and never estimates.

Does a check use a credit?

Yes, 1 credit, but only when there is a result. If the store can't be read, isn't Shopify or WooCommerce, or its robots.txt doesn't allow it, no credit is used. Re-opening the same store within 24 hours shows your saved result at no cost.

Why did the checker say the store can't be read?

The usual reasons are a password-protected store, a website that isn't Shopify or WooCommerce, or a robots.txt rule that asks tools like Findora not to read the store's products. Findora always follows those rules.
