How to Search for Shopify Stores – 3 Efficient Methods

Shopify is a popular e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create online stores to sell their products. However, the site doesn’t have an official database or list of stores on the platform, making it difficult to search for a specific store. So, how do you search for Shopify stores?

To search for Shopify stores, open your browser and go to the Google search engine. Type “site:myshopify.com” followed by the keyword you’re looking for, and then hit enter. For example, if you want to find a store that sells jewelry, search for “site:myshopify.com jewelry.”

If you’re looking for stores that use Shopify, there are several ways to find them. Keep reading for a rundown of the methods you can use to search for Shopify stores.

Ways to find Shopify stores

As I mentioned, there are several ways to search for Shopify stores. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular methods.

Use the “Site:myshopify.com” operator in Google

One way to search for Shopify stores is to use the “site:myshopify.com” operator in Google. This operator tells Google only to show results from websites hosted on the “myshopify.com” domain. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open your web browser and go to “Google.com“.
2. In the search bar, type “site:myshopify.com”, followed by the keyword you’re looking for. For example, if you’re looking for stores that sell handmade jewelry, you would type “site:myshopify.com handmade jewelry“.
3. Press the Enter key to run the search.

Google will show you a list of websites hosted on the myshopify.com domain containing the keyword you searched for.

Use the IP address “23.227.38.32”

Another way to find Shopify stores is to use the IP address “23.227.38.32“. That’s the IP address Shopify uses for its servers, so any website hosted on a Shopify server will have this IP address. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open your web browser and go to “myip.ms“.
2. In the search bar, type “23.227.38.32“ and press the Enter key.
3. “myip.ms” will show you a list of websites hosted on the IP address “23.227.38.32“.

Use the “Intext” operator in Google

You can also use the “intext” operator in Google to search for websites powered by Shopify. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open your web browser and go to “Google.com“.
2. In the search bar, type “intext: powered by Shopify (three spaces) intext: keyword“. Replace “keyword” with the keyword you’re looking for. For example, if you’re looking for stores that sell handmade jewelry, you would type intext: “powered by Shopify” intext: “handmade jewelry“. (Ensure you hit the Spacebar thrice between the two “intext” phrases, and don’t include the “.” at the end of the keyword).
3. Press the Enter key to run the search.

Google will show you a list of websites that contain the text “powered by Shopify” and the keyword you searched for.

Tips for finding Shopify stores

Here are a few additional tips to help you find Shopify stores:

• Use quotes around your keyword to search for an exact match. For example, “handmade jewelry” will only show results that contain the exact phrase “handmade jewelry“. In contrast, handmade jewelry will deliver results containing the words “handmade” or “jewelry“.
• Try different keyword variations in your searches, such as singular vs. plural, different orderings of words, or different keywords altogether.
• Contact Shopify support if you still need help finding the stores you’re looking for. They can provide you with additional resources to help you find those stores.
