Store Preview Link

You can use the store preview link feature, to securely preview your store without running into any login or access interruptions. The maximum expiry time allowed is 30 days. You can also set the expiry in minutes; for example, 28,000 minutes is valid because it is less than 30 days.

You can generate the store preview link as many times as needed. Also, note that generating a new preview link will automatically deactivate the existing one.
