When someone opens a shared page link, they see a full, read-only rendering of your landing page. The experience is designed to showcase your design exactly as it appears in the builder, without exposing any editing controls.
The public page view includes:
Full page rendering - All sections are rendered in order with the brand style applied, including fonts, colors, spacing, and layout.
Page title and author attribution - The header displays the page title and the name of the page creator (e.g., "by John Smith").
Desktop/mobile toggle - On desktop screens, viewers can switch between desktop and mobile views using the toggle in the center of the header bar.
Preview badge - A small "Preview" badge appears in the header to indicate this is a shared preview, not a live storefront page.
Shared pages are fully responsive. The view adapts to the viewer's device:
On desktop, the full-width desktop layout is shown by default, with the option to switch to mobile view.
On mobile devices, the page automatically renders in mobile view. The desktop/mobile toggle is hidden on small screens since the mobile layout is already active.
All brand style responsive values are applied - separate font sizes for desktop and mobile, responsive padding, and mobile-specific layout adjustments work exactly as they do in the builder.
The header includes a logo dropdown menu with navigation options:
Back home - Returns to the dashboard (or login page for unauthenticated viewers).
All pages - Opens the pages list (requires authentication).
New page - Starts creating a new page (or redirects to signup).
Duplicate - Creates a copy of the shared page (if duplication is enabled).
If a viewer is not logged in, a sticky card appears at the bottom of the page encouraging them to create an account:
If duplication is enabled, the card says "An account is required to use this template" with Login and Sign up buttons.
If duplication is disabled, the card says "Create an account to build your own" with Login and Sign up buttons.
Viewers can switch between light and dark themes using the theme toggle in the logo dropdown menu. This changes the header and background chrome - the page content itself renders according to the brand style colors.
Public page viewing is strictly read-only. Viewers cannot:
Edit any text, images, or section content
Access the configuration panel or section settings
Drag, reorder, add, or remove sections
Modify the brand style
Publish the page to Shopify
The only interactive option available (when enabled) is the Use template button for duplicating the page.
