How can I test out the App on a backup theme before taking it to the production theme?

Sometimes you may want to test out the App on a backup theme before taking it live on the production theme. Please follow these steps to test this App out on the backup theme:

Step 1: Enable App Embed on the back up theme.


Open the Shopify Admin, and under Sales channels, click "Online Store". Click on the "Themes" menu. Find your backup theme in the list, and click "Customize"


In the Customize theme screen, click "App embeds" on the left menu:



Enable App embed for our PD: Back in stock App, and click "Save" on the top right.



Step 2: Use "Preview mode" to test out the Notify me button in action
Go back to the "Themes" menu, find your back up theme and click on the three-dot button next to Customize, and select "Preview" from the menu that opens. A preview version of your back theme will open in a new tab.


Navigate to a sold out product page, and you should see the "Notify me" button here. Go back to the PD: Back in stock App inside the Shopify Admin to customize the button or to get help in case you don't see the button.

One you've tested everything thoroughly, you can either publish your backup theme or you can enable App embed on your main theme to enable the App on your Production store.
