Publishing and reverting changes

Super Checkout: Brand Styler is built so you can experiment freely and only ever ship changes you are sure about. This guide covers the draft model, publishing, and how to roll back.

You always work in a draft

Every change lands in a named draft, not on your live checkout. Drafts give you:

  • Undo and redo - step back and forward through your edits.
  • An unsaved-changes badge and guard - a clear signal when a draft differs from what is live, and a prompt before you navigate away and lose work.
  • Presets - starting points you can apply and then refine.

Your draft state is saved per shop, so it is there when you come back.

Publishing

When the preview looks right, press Publish. The app builds the branding input from your draft and runs the update on Shopify's servers using your store session - no tokens are ever pasted, and nothing is injected into your storefront. Your live checkout, thank-you, account and sign-in pages update through Shopify's supported branding APIs.

Publishing is the only step that changes what customers see. Editing and previewing never touch your live checkout.

The publish log

Each publish is recorded, so you have a history of what changed and when. If you need to confirm whether a change went out, the log is the place to check.

Reverting

Because your live branding only changes when you publish, rolling back is straightforward:

  • Undo before publishing - step back through the draft.
  • Re-publish an earlier state - restore the look you want and publish again to make it live.
  • Uninstall - checkout reverts to Shopify's defaults. Your saved settings are kept for 30 days in case you reinstall.

Moving settings between stores

You can export a configuration and import it elsewhere - fetch from a store, paste JSON, or upload a file - which is handy for staging a look on a test store, then bringing it into production.

Will updates from Shopify break my styling?

No. Everything is applied through Shopify's supported branding APIs, with no theme hacks and no injected scripts, so platform updates to checkout roll through cleanly.
