Welcome to Store QA Tool
SQA audits your Shopify store for quality, content, and technical issues, then gives you a plain-language fix for each one - without ever writing to your store.
What is Store QA Tool?
Store QA Tool (SQA) is a Shopify app that scans your storefront, your product catalog, and your theme’s own source code for the kind of issues that quietly hurt a store: broken links, placeholder text left over from a theme demo, missing images, thin SEO metadata, empty collections, dead menu items, and more.
Every issue it finds - called a finding - comes with a plain-language explanation of what’s wrong and exactly how to fix it, plus a direct link into your Shopify admin or the storefront page in question. SQA never makes the fix for you: it only requests read access to your store, so nothing about your catalog, theme, or content is ever changed by the app itself.
Why Use Store QA Tool?
Stores accumulate quality problems quietly - a supplier import leaves placeholder copy, a theme update breaks an asset reference, a collection empties out and nobody notices. With Store QA Tool you can:
- Catch what manual review misses - a full crawl plus catalog seeding checks every page, product, and collection, not just what you remember to look at
- See exactly what to fix - every finding has a plain-language fix instruction and a one-click link to the exact admin resource or storefront page
- Track progress over time - each scan is automatically compared to your last one, so you can see what’s new, what’s still open, and what got fixed
- Audit a theme before it goes live - upload a theme
.zipand run the same checks against it before it ever touches your store - Stay hands-off - schedule daily or weekly scans and check the Home page for a digest of what changed
How It Works
SQA never edits your store - every scan is read-only from start to finish:
- Set your scan defaults - optionally point scans at a private preview URL, add words you want flagged, set which languages are allowed, and choose which checks run.
- Run a Tier 1 scan - SQA crawls your storefront, seeds every product/collection/page from the Admin API, and checks the pages, your catalog, and your theme’s source code.
- Review the findings - each one names the check, a severity, its exact location, and a plain-language fix - with a link straight to the admin resource or page.
- Fix it yourself - SQA only has read access, so you make the actual change in your Shopify admin or theme code.
- Re-scan to confirm - the next scan automatically marks each issue as new, recurring, or resolved, and anything you dismissed stays dismissed.
Key Features
Full-Site Crawl
Follows every link from your homepage and seeds every product, collection, and page straight from the Admin API, so nothing gets missed just because it isn’t linked anywhere.
Plain-Language Fixes
Every finding comes with a fix instruction written for a merchant, not a developer, plus a direct link into the Shopify admin or storefront page it applies to.
Cross-Scan Tracking
Every scan is compared against your last one automatically - each finding is labelled new, recurring, or resolved, so you can see what actually got fixed.
Theme Source Scanning
Checks your theme’s actual Liquid and JSON source - not just what renders - for placeholder text, disallowed words, broken asset references, and missing templates.
Pre-Launch Theme Zip Audits
Drag and drop a theme .zip to audit it before it’s ever pushed to your store, in addition to whatever theme is currently live.
Scheduled Automatic Scans
Turn on daily or weekly scans with your saved defaults, and check the Home page for a digest of what changed since last time.
Password-Protected Preview Support
Point a scan at a private or staging storefront and SQA logs in through Shopify’s password gate first, so it checks your real pages instead of the lock screen.
Read-Only and Safe
SQA only ever requests read access to your store. It can see everything it needs to audit your store, but it never writes to your catalog, theme, or pages.
Who Should Use This App?

- Agencies and freelancers running pre-launch QA on a client’s store or theme before it goes live
