How to bypass Shopify Password Online Store

All newly created Shopify development stores are password protected. It means that visitors will have to enter a storefront password to access the site.

The password can be set from Shopify Admin -> Left Menu -> Online Store -> Preferences -> Password protection:

Unfortunately, ‘Enable password’ checkbox cannot be unchecked and all new visitors of the site will have to enter a storefront password.

The above could be inconvenient for people who visit an theme preview online store.

So, I spend some time how to resolve that and I’ve found a solution:

Instead of redirecting visitors directly to shopify store, I’ve created a static HTML page with the following code:

`



View Demo`

Replace, ‘YOUR_STORE.myshopify.com’ with your actual shopify store URL, and ‘YOUR_STOREFRONT_PASSWORD’ with your storefront password. Then when people, click on ‘View Demo’ it will submit the form with storefront password and they will see the site.
