You can share an unpublished Shopify store in a few ways:
1. Share the Store's Development URL
- Every Shopify store has a unique development URL that you can access during the setup process.
- This URL is usually a variation of your store name followed by
.myshopify.com. - Example:
yourstorename.myshopify.com - You can share this URL with anyone you want to view your store, but remember that it is still under development, so some features may not be fully functional.
2. Share the Store's Password-Protected Preview
- Shopify offers a feature called "Password Protected Preview," which allows you to share your store with a specific password.
- This is a great way to share your store with potential investors, partners, or collaborators without making it public.
- To enable this feature, go to your Shopify admin, navigate to "Online Store," and then click "Password Protected Preview."
3. Use a Third-Party Sharing Tool
- Several third-party tools allow you to share your unpublished Shopify store with others.
- These tools typically offer features like password protection, analytics tracking, and feedback collection.
- Example: ShareThis
Remember that sharing an unpublished Shopify store is a great way to get feedback and collaborate with others on your project.
