Due to recent changes introduced by Shopify, the standard method of previewing your store may not work as expected if you have enabled the auto-redirect to IdP feature in the miniOrange SSO application. Clicking on the 'Preview Store' icon will redirect you to the login page of the configured Identity Provider (IdP). This interferes with the preview flow, especially since you are already logged into your Shopify admin, causing an interruption in the preview process.
To help you continue testing and previewing your store, we have created a workaround for this issue. We are adding a Preview Magic Link capability within the SSO application, which you can use to securely preview your store without running into any login or access interruptions.
Here's how to configure the Preview Magic Link:
- Navigate to your Shopify store, and open the miniOrange SSO application.
- Click on the Store Preview Link button highlighted below:
- In the store preview link section, you can configure how long the preview link remains active by setting its expiration time in days, hours, and minutes.
- To set an expiration for the preview link, choose a time period (e.g., days, hours, or minutes) and specify the duration. For example, 20 days or 20 hours or 20 minutes.
- Note: The maximum expiry time allowed is 30 days. You can also set the expiry in minutes; for example, 28,000 minutes is valid because it is less than 30 days. You can generate the store preview link as many times as needed.
- Copy the generated store preview link, and paste it in your browser to preview your store.
Note: Generating a new preview link will automatically deactivate the existing one.
