Step-by-step guide

Share your store

Copy the public Storefront URL, give it one final customer check, and share a clear message with your audience.

  1. Open the public store

    1. Open the correct account and store.
    2. Confirm the store status reads Active.
    3. Select Storefront beside the store name.

    Storefront opens the customer-facing store. If the store is not active yet, return to Get your store live before sharing the link.

  2. Check the page you are about to share

    Confirm the store name, product image, product name, price, colors, sizes, and cart controls. This is the page people will receive; the management page is private.

    If anything needs changing, use Edit and polish a product before sending the link widely.

    Check the same product details your customers will see.

  3. Copy the public store URL

    1. On the public store page, select the browser address bar.
    2. Copy the complete address.
    3. Paste it into a new tab and confirm it returns to the same store.

    Do not copy the address from the account or store management page. Those pages are for administrators.

  4. Give people one clear reason to visit

    Say what the store is, what shoppers can find there, and include a real deadline only when one applies. Then paste the public URL.

    Example: Cedar Lantern Academy spirit wear is available online. Choose your product, color, and size here: [store link]

    Use the same public link in email, social posts, newsletters, or a QR code so shoppers always arrive at the same store.

You’re done when

  • You copied the URL from the public Storefront, not the private management page.
  • The link opens the intended store and product.
  • The product image, name, price, colors, and sizes are correct.
  • Your message contains one clear store link and any real deadline shoppers need to know.

Is the shared link not working?

Send us the store name and the public URL you are testing. Tell us what happens when you open it.
