Why can't I preview my store when setting switcher in Transtore?

When customizing the Switcher in Transtore, you may notice that the Preview section appears blank instead of showing your storefront. This is a common situation and is easy to resolve.

Why does the Switcher Preview show blank content?​

This usually happens because your store is protected by a password.

When password protection is enabled, Transtore cannot load your storefront content into the Preview section. As a result, the preview appears empty - even though your Switcher settings are being saved correctly.

Important: A blank preview does not mean the Switcher is broken or not working.

How can I see my store in the Preview?​

You have two options:

Option 1: Temporarily disable password protection​

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Navigate to Online Store → Preferences
  2. Disable Password protection and Save
  3. Return to Transtore and refresh the Preview

Option 2: Enter your store password in the Preview​

You can simply enter the store password in the Preview section and submit to preview:

How can I verify the Switcher is working correctly?​

After saving your settings, you can also verify how the Switcher appears on the storefront using these preview options:

  • Preview based on your current location and currency
  • Preview by selecting a specific country/region
  • Preview by using a specific IP address

These options help you ensure the Switcher displays correctly for different customer locations.

Note​

  • You can preview the Switcher in the app only after it is activated.
  • The Preview supports both desktop and mobile views inside the app.
