Staging Stores
Merchants with multiple technical and non-technical team members collaborating on Shogun Frontend.
Technical and non-technical team members creating, testing, previewing and sharing store changes in a safe, production-like environment.
Restore Staging with Production - shared backend
Workflow #1: Restore Staging with Production
1. Reach out to your Shogun Frontend point of contact to set up your staging store and enable the Store Copy feature.
2. Use Store Copy to push updates from your Shogun Frontend Production store to your Shogun Frontend Staging store. Your entire Shogun Frontend Staging store will be overwritten with contents from your Shogun Frontend Production store.
❗️ WARNING
THIS ACTION CANNOT BE CANCELLED, UNDONE, OR REVERTED!
3. Manually update the content in your Staging store as needed.
4. Fully test your Shogun Frontend store before publishing. We offer three tools for this:
eXperience Manager Live Preview
Preview URL
Build errors
🚧 Due to the highly interconnected nature of Shogun Frontend data, a missing or changed piece of data between stores will likely lead to a build error or production bug after you conduct a Store Copy. This scenario is most likely when you have distinct ecommerce backends and will require manual reconfiguration of multiple parts of your Shogun Frontend store.
International Stores
Brands investing in a global online presence.
Brands selling a similar product catalogue in multiple languages and currencies.
Technical team members seeking to reuse an existing Shogun Frontend store as the foundation for regional stores.
Store Copy should only be used as the mechanism to run the initial copy of your flagship international store to create your regional stores. Beyond that point, Store Copy should not be used as it will overwrite the entire store.
Developers can connect separate branches, via the GitHub Integration, to regional stores to manage code differences between the stores
