How Do I Know If My Shopify Store Is Live?

To determine if your Shopify store is live, you can follow these steps:

 

1. Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard.

 

2. On the left-hand side menu, click on “Online Store” and then select “Preferences.”

 

3. In the Preferences section, scroll down to the “Password protection” option.

 

4. If the “Restrict Access to visitors with password” checkbox is checked, it means your store is not live yet. Uncheck the box to make your store live.

 

5. Save the changes by clicking on the “Save” button at the top right corner of the page.

 

6. Open a new browser tab and visit your store’s URL or search for it on a search engine like Google to confirm its live status. If you can see your store’s homepage without a password prompt or if your store appears in the search results, it means your store is live.
