You’re still seeing the preview of the store on your devices. Your friend doesnt have access to the preview.
You can either give them the password, or you can deactivate the password by going to your Shopify Admin > Online Store (on the left) > Preferences > Scroll to the bottom and find Password Protection.
Cal here from Shopify, thanks for reaching out to us. How are you today?
What you’re referring to is the Password Protection page that stores have enabled prior to launch. This would appear for your friend, as he is not logged in to the store, whereas because you are logged in as staff it would not appear.
You can disable the password page by:
From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Preferences.
Go to the Password protection area.
Uncheck Enable password.
Click Save.
We also have a great guide on how you can edit your password page settings here. If you’d prefer to keep the password page active, you could simply share the password found in the Preferences section with your friend to preview the site.
How has the rest of the setup gone so far? Have you encountered any other little difficulties or roadblocks to getting the store ready for launch?
