# How to test an offer before publishing it to the live store


### Here are two ways to make sure your offer works before activating it on the live store.


# Duplicate & Test on a Draft Theme

1. Go to your Online Store from Shopify's** Sales channels** settings:

* Click the 3 dots icon next to the **Customize** button on the live theme,
* Click **Duplicate**.

2. Next, activate the **app embed** settings on the duplicated theme:

* Click **Online Store**,
* Select **Themes**,
* And click **Customize** on your current live theme.

||| Note: Make sure to disable the embed settings and remove or hide any app blocks that you might have added from our app on the live store.
||| This way, the offer will be displayed on the duplicated theme only.

### And that's it! You may now test your offer on a draft theme to make sure everything works correctly, before publishing it to the live store :)  

# Development store

Another approach to test the offer would be on a development store. To do this, you would need to create one if you haven't already.

It's also worth mentioning that before you can create a development store to test and build apps or themes, you need to have a Shopify Partner account.

This Shopify article explains how to create a development store, as well as the screenshot with steps below: https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/dashboard/managing-stores/development-stores

1. Download **theme file** of live store.

2. **Upload theme** to the development store.
