# How to test the app on an unpublished (draft) theme?

This doc is a guide on how you can set-up and test the funnels/offers created through Monk on an unpublished (draft) theme without it interfering with your live website and live visitors. Once you've added Monk to your Shopify store, set-up your first funnel and click on Save & Activate. Then follow these steps : 

|| Checkout offers cannot be previewed in a draft theme since it is a Shopify limitation. The app must be enabled on the live theme to test the offer. (Relevant only for Shopify Plus stores). To test out offers in a draft checkout, please click [here](https://monkcommerce.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-test-offers-in-a-draft-checkout-shopify-plus-exclusive-ge563b/?bust=1763638985716) for more information.

1. **Duplicate the existing theme**

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes > Click on the three-dot menu > Duplicate

4. **Testing an offer on your draft theme**

|| In order to test products which are not live, you can refer to this [article](https://monkcommerce.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-use-a-product-in-offers-that-is-currently-inactive-in-your-store-uica0o/).

To view the offer set up on your draft theme, from your Shopify admin, Go to Online Store > Themes > Click on the three-dot menu beside the copy of your draft theme > Preview .
This will take you to the Shopify preview of your draft theme, allowing you to navigate to the relevant page or products to test out your offer.

In Monk app's 'Manage offers' tab , the app status will show as 'Disabled'. This is because the app dashboard only reflects the app status of the live theme, not of any of the draft themes.
