About Copywatch

Copywatch helps owners of Shopify stores find products that appear to copy their original designs. You connect a public Shopify catalog and choose the products that contain your own work, and the service searches the web each week using visual and product-name searches, bringing possible matches into one review queue.

You stay in control of every judgment: matches can be dismissed or saved, and the tool organizes the evidence for the ones that matter. When you decide to act, Copywatch prepares an editable takedown notice you can review before sending. It is aimed at independent artists, print-on-demand sellers and small brands, and is useful again after launching a new collection.

Copywatch is a hosted commercial service. The site lets you scan one public product without signing in and lists paid plans in a pricing section. It is not self-hosted software.
