# Turn Shopify storefronts into your next target accounts.

See the apps behind a Shopify brand. Discover more merchants using the tools that matter, and track your next customers from the page you’re already on.

## Availability
Available now in the Chrome Web Store.
[Add to Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kmlcbmlhmdhjopacnaamahmjggofphkp?utm_source=shoplist&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=chrome_extension_launch&utm_content=extension_markdown)
A Shoplist account and Chrome 148+ are required.

## From storefront to target accounts
### Know the brand behind the storefront

Open Shoplist beside a recognized Shopify storefront. See the brand and its apps without losing the page you are researching.

### See the apps shaping the account

Explore the apps behind the brand. Open one for the detail and timing that make your next move more informed.

### Find brands using the apps that matter

Start with an app that matters to your market. Find other brands using it and move straight into account research.

### Track your next move

Track the brands and apps shaping your next move. Build target lists and set alerts in the Shoplist dashboard.

## Who it serves
### For Shopify app teams

Find brands using a competitor or complementary app. See what else powers their stores and pursue the accounts your app should win.

### For agencies

See the apps behind a prospective client’s storefront. Find merchants with similar stacks and turn each discovery into a more focused pitch.

## Access and plans
Unlock the full recorded app stack for 10 stores, free. Each workspace chooses its stores in Shoplist on the web with “Unlock full stack”. Revisits are included. Rescans are separately quoted and metered; paid workflows keep their plan limits.

## Controls and data
Automatic matching sends eligible active website hostnames to Shoplist to check for a catalog match. Choose Manual to inspect on demand. App detections are dated records, not a live read of every app currently installed.
A no-match result does not establish that a site is not on Shopify.

## Getting started
1. Install Shoplist from the Chrome Web Store, then pin it in Chrome.
2. Sign in to Shoplist in the same Chrome profile.
3. Open a storefront and click Shoplist. A known match opens its brand and app records; signed-out, no-match, and plan-limited states explain the next step.

## Frequently asked questions
### How do I install it?

Add Shoplist from the Chrome Web Store, pin it, and sign in to Shoplist in the same Chrome profile. Open a storefront and click Shoplist to start your research.

### What can I use for free?

Unlock the full recorded app stack for 10 stores, free. Choose up to 10 distinct stores per workspace. Unlock each once and return to its full recorded stack whenever you research it again. Sign in to Shoplist on the web, open a store with at least one recorded app, and select “Unlock full stack”. You can use this offer without installing the Chrome extension.

### What uses a store unlock?

Browsing, failed lookups and stores with no recorded apps do not use an unlock. Revisiting an unlocked store does not use another. Other stores follow your plan’s app visibility. Rescans are separately quoted and metered; paid lists, exports, alerts and other workflows keep their plan limits.

### What happens when I visit a site?

In Automatic mode, the extension sends an eligible active website hostname to Shoplist for catalog matching. Manual mode lets you inspect on demand. A no-match result does not establish that a site is not on Shopify.

### Are app detections live install data?

The panel shows Shoplist’s recorded detections and observation dates. A record is evidence observed by Shoplist, not a guarantee that the app is installed right now. See the data methodology for how records are interpreted.

### Do I need a Shoplist account?

Yes. Sign in to Shoplist in the same Chrome profile you use for the extension. If you are signed out, the panel points you to sign in.
