What is Product Page Sharing?

Product page sharing allows you to generate direct links to individual product pages in your LeadConnector store. These links can be shared with customers, used in marketing campaigns, or sent for internal review before a product goes live.

This feature includes preview functionality that lets you view how a product page will appear to customers even before you publish it. You can share preview links with team members or stakeholders to gather feedback and ensure everything looks correct before making products available for purchase.

Step 4
Share the Link

Paste the copied link into your marketing materials, emails, social media posts, or share it directly with customers. The link will take them directly to that specific product page in your store.

How to Preview an Unpublished Product

The preview feature lets you view and share how a product will appear to customers before you publish it. This is useful for internal reviews and quality checks.

Step 1
Open the Unpublished Product

In Payments → Products, select the product you want to preview. The product should be in draft or unpublished status.

Step 2
Access Preview Mode

Look for the Preview button or icon in the product details. Click it to open a preview of how the product page will appear to customers.

Step 3
Review the Product Page

Check all product information, images, pricing, descriptions, and layout to ensure everything displays correctly. The preview shows exactly how customers will see the page once published.

Step 4
Share Preview Link (Optional)

If you want others to review the product, copy the preview URL from your browser and share it with team members. They can view the product page without needing access to your LeadConnector account.

Important

Preview links for unpublished products are temporary and intended for internal review only. Once a product is published, the standard product page link should be used for customer-facing purposes.

Understanding Product Page URLs

Product page URLs in LeadConnector follow a consistent structure that makes them easy to identify and use in your marketing efforts.

URL Structure
Standard Product URLs

Published product pages use this format:

yourdomain.com/store/product-name

URL Behavior
SEO-Friendly URLs

Product URLs are automatically generated from your product name and are designed to be search engine friendly. The URL includes the product name in a readable format, which helps with search visibility and makes links more trustworthy when shared.

Note

If you change a product name after it has been published, the URL may update to reflect the new name. Consider this when sharing product links in permanent marketing materials or campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can customers purchase from a preview link?
No. Preview links are for internal review only and do not allow purchases. Customers can only complete purchases from published product pages using the standard product URL.
Q: Do preview links expire?
Preview links for unpublished products are temporary and intended for short-term review purposes. Once you publish a product, use the standard product page link for all customer-facing communications.
Q: Can I customize the product URL?
Product URLs are automatically generated from your product name. To change the URL, you would need to update the product name itself. Keep in mind that changing the URL after sharing links may break existing references.
Q: Where can I use direct product links?
Direct product links can be used anywhere you want to send customers directly to a specific product: email campaigns, social media posts, text messages, advertisements, QR codes, or embedded in website content. They work exactly like regular web links.
Q: What happens if I share a product link before publishing?
If you share a standard product URL before the product is published, visitors will see an error or "product not found" message. Always use the preview functionality for unpublished products, and only share standard product links after publishing.
Q: Can I track clicks on shared product links?
Yes. You can use UTM parameters or your preferred analytics tracking method with product URLs to monitor how visitors interact with your shared links. Product pages also contribute to your overall store analytics.
Q: Do I need a custom domain to use product links?
No. Product links work with both your default LeadConnector store domain and any custom domain you have configured for your store. If you use a custom domain, product links will automatically use that domain.
Q: Will preview links show my store branding?
Yes. Preview links display the product page with all your configured store branding, colors, logos, and layout settings. This allows you to see exactly how the page will appear to customers once published.
