How to Check Collections of Shopify Store

For e-commerce professionals, understanding how a competitor organizes their products is a key part of market research. Shopify stores provide a specific way to access their collection data, revealing categories, product counts, and update times.

1. The Manual "collections.json" Method

By appending /collections.json to any Shopify domain, you can access the store's public collection metadata.

URL Structure:

https://target-competitor.com/collections.json

Example of De-sensitized Collection Data:

{  "collections": [    {      "id": 10293847,      "title": "Best Selling Items",      "handle": "best-sellers",      "products_count": 120,      "updated_at": "2026-01-20T10:00:00"    },    {      "id": 56473829,      "title": "New Season Deals",      "handle": "seasonal-sales",      "products_count": 45    }  ]}

Why Use a Professional Checker?

While the raw data is available, it is often difficult to read or filter when a store has hundreds of collections. Manually calculating product distribution and finding hidden category handles is time-consuming.
