The Shopney Preview App enables you to see and test your app in terms of its functions and visuals from the user's point of view before setting it live.

Plus, you can even let your partners or colleagues preview it with their phones and get their feedback about the app simply by sharing the link created on the Shopney dashboard. So, let's move on and learn how to do it step-by-step!


How Can I Preview My App?

1- To preview your app after the latest updates, download the Shopney Preview App to your mobile device. Search for "Shopney" in the App Store or Google Play, or click on the link below that corresponds to your device:

2- If you’ve made changes to your showcase and want to preview them, just click the "Preview" button, as shown below.

3- Next, you’ll see that the dashboard generates a unique QR code and a preview link after you click the “Preview” button.

4- After scanning the QR code on your mobile device, your app icon will appear on the screen. Tap the icon to preview all features from a user’s perspective.

The QR code you scanned will be saved in the Shopney Preview App’s database. This way, there’s no need to create or scan a new QR code each time. Simply open the Shopney Preview App and tap the existing icon to preview your app whenever you want.

The "Preview" button is always located at the top of your showcase. After making any changes to your app design, simply click the "Save & Update" button to save them, and then click the "Preview" button, as shown below.


How Can I Share the Preview Link with Others?

You’ll see the generated QR code and a preview link every time you click on the "Preview" button. You can copy the preview link to share it with others.

When they are about to preview your app through a link shared, they have 2 possible cases to have:

First case: They have the Shopney Preview App already downloaded on their phone.

When they tap on the shared link on their mobile device, it will automatically open the Shopney Preview App, and they will see the icon of the app appear on their screen. The only thing they need to do is tap on the icon to preview your app.

Second case: They don't have the Shopney Preview App on their phone.

In this case, when they tap on the share link, it will direct them to the Shopney Preview App's App Store or Play Store page, depending on their mobile device, to download the app. The link understands whether the app is already downloaded to your mobile device and if it is iOS or Android-operated. The link operates according to those queries.

After downloading the Shopney Preview App with the deep link, your case shifts into the first case. Then, you need to go and tap the same shared deep link again. This time, it will operate differently according to the first case and will open the screen on which you can see the icon of the shared app. All you need to do to preview the app is to tap on the app icon. And voila!
