Merchants often want to preview how the Appstle Subscriptions app/widget will look and function before it goes live on their store. If you want to test Appstle Subscriptions on a draft theme, follow the steps below to set it up properly and ensure it works as expected.
Note: Ensure that you have subscription plans set up within Appstle to guarantee the widget appears on your subscription product pages in the draft theme.
Step 1: If you have one, in your current theme, disable Appstle Subscriptions
Before installing Appstle Subscriptions on your draft theme, it’s crucial to disable the widget on your active theme, if you have one. The widget only works on one theme at a time.
In your Shopify Admin, go to Sales Channel > Online Store > Themes.
Click on the Customize button for your current active theme.
Navigate to App Embeds in the theme editor.
Find Appstle Subscriptions in the list and disable the toggle.
Disabling the toggle removes the widget from your live store, preventing any potential conflicts.
Step 2: Preview Your Draft Theme
In the Theme Library, locate your draft theme.
Click on the three-dot button next to your draft theme and select Preview.
This will open a preview of the draft theme, allowing you to check how Appstle Subscriptions appears before making it live.
Step 3: Enable Appstle Subscriptions in Your Draft Theme
To enable the Appstle Subscriptions App embed, click on Customize next to three dots, and then go to App Embeds in the theme editor.
Enable the toggle for Appstle Subscriptions.
Once enabled, navigate to a subscription product page to confirm the widget is visible and functioning as expected.
Step 4 (Optional): Perform a Test Purchase
To fully verify the setup, you can perform a test purchase:
Select a subscription option from the widget.
Go through the checkout process to confirm everything is working correctly.
This ensures that the widget is functioning as expected and that customers can seamlessly make subscription purchases.
Congratulations!
You have successfully installed and tested Appstle Subscriptions on your draft theme. You can now make any necessary adjustments before making the draft theme live!
