All things Shopify and commerce
Hello,
I have been putting up Google Ads and notice in my "Shopify > Analytics" page under the "Top landing pages by sessions" block that many of my visitors are landing on pages like:
xyz43563453.shopifypreview.com
abc345rtyhfgh345.shopifypreview.com
def75465sdfaer4.shopifypreview.com
etc.
When I check the link, my site shows and everything seems to work fine. But it's not my domain.
Is there somehow I can stop this "shopifypreview" from being broadcasted? Make it redirect? It doesn't look professional and I also wonder if it is a security issue.
Oh and I am on a paid Shopify plan - I'm not on the 3-day trial.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry you are facing this issue,
It would be my pleasure to help you.
Please share your site URL,
I will check out the issue and provide you with a solution here.
@cmp2 thanks but
Access Unavailable
@KetanKumar Sorry I have a geo blocker on as I don't ship to other countries. I have unblocked India as it shows access was blocked around the time you posted. If that is not your location please let me know which country to unblock and I will do it.
Thank you.
@cmp2 oh great
yes that work and i have checked everything your store its working prefect all stage if still issue please capture video step by step issue details
Yes my main domain works fine. As stated in my first post, many visitors are landing on a "shopifypreview" link for unknown reasons. My main domains work fine though.
I will attach a screenshot of the block I am talking about:
It's not every time but sometimes they land on some weird .shopifypreview.com link. Why is this happening and how do I stop it. It is clearly something to do with Shopify.
EDIT: I tried to put a redirect of *.shopifypreview.com to / but it just made it: /*shopifypreview.com
Thanks.
@cmp2 I had the same issue I FINALLY figured it out. On one of my pages I put a hyperlink to one of my other pages. The method advised by Shopify is to nagivate to the page you want to link to and copy the url in the address bar. In my haste I copied this address but didnt notice that it was actually an url with 'preview and some other gibberish" in there.
So each time I nagivate my website and I nagivate to via the link I would still get to the page I linked but the url would actually be on a page that has preview in the url. Then any further navigation onwards stays in a kindoff weird "preview mode". They only way out is to manually type in your domain url into th address bar. I resolved this by correctly pasting the url of the page I wanted to link to in the hyperlink.
