This is a similar solution if you want to check if an email exists in firebase

firebase.app().database().ref("shops").orderByChild("email")
   .equalTo(user.email).once("value", snapshot => {

            const userData = snapshot.val();

            // Check if it is a SHOP.
            if (userData) {
              console.log("Shop logged in!");
              this.setState({
                isAdminLoggedIn: false,
                isUserLoggedIn: false,
                isShopLoggedIn: true,
                isNoneLoggedIn: false
              });

            // Check if it is a USER.
            } else {
              console.log("User logged in");
              this.setState({
                isAdminLoggedIn: false,
                isUserLoggedIn: true,
                isShopLoggedIn: false,
                isNoneLoggedIn: false
              });
            }
        });
