edit shop all page with items before publishing

paulawest — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 22:40:21 GMT

Hi,

I have my items hidden to publish at a later date. They are not showing up in my item list on my Shop All page. I need to preview how they will look once my items become visible and my shop goes live. Is there any way to do this? I don't want them visible on my website yet.

Thanks,

Paula

Hi @paulawest

Currently, I don't believe Square Online has a built-in feature to preview hidden items before publishing.

A not ideal, but only logical workaround I can think of, is to set the site to password-protected to preview.

Steps:

In your Square Online dashboard go to Website > Site Preferences
Under Password Protection, enable it and set a password
Temporarily make your hidden items visible in your item settings
Publish your site – only people with the password can view it
Preview your Shop All page and make any adjustments
When you’re done, hide the items again and remove password protection if you’re ready to go live later

For more details on managing item visibility and password protection, here’s the official Square guides:

This is a great feature request though - I've added to the Feedback Hub - feel free to Kudos it to vote for it for future consideration by the Square team.
