Someone copied my Shopify store. Is that illegal?

Using your brand, catalog, and checkout on a domain they do not own is typically trademark infringement and often fraud or phishing. We are not your lawyer. Collect evidence and have counsel send the notices.

Can I just report it to Shopify?

Yes, and also report the domain. The shop can move to another host if you only hit the theme platform. Registrar plus Shopify is the usual pair.

How do I see if there are more copies?

Enter your official domain at obscuryn.com/free-scan. Lookalike generation finds the neighborhood, not just the one URL a customer forwarded.

Someone copied my Shopify store

Someone copied my Shopify store. What to do today.

A cloned theme on a hostname you do not own is a live incident. Confirm the cart, package evidence, file, then watch for the next host. Do not wait for the next chargeback.

Confirm it is not you

Open the URL in a clean browser. Check the hostname. If it is not your official domain and it has a cart, treat it as hostile even if the theme looks identical.

Note whether checkout asks for cards or a login. That changes the abuse angle (trademark vs phishing).

Collect evidence before it rotates

Screenshot the homepage and the cart. Copy the full URL. Do not log in or pay.

Run your official domain through obscuryn.com/free-scan so you see sibling hosts. Kits rarely stand up only one shop.

File, then re-check

Send the packet to the domain registrar and to Shopify’s impersonation / IP path. File it. A tweet does not count.

Re-scan in 48 hours. The first domain often drops and two new .shop hosts appear the same week.
