Overview
The live preview panel renders your calculator the way customers will see it on your storefront, updating in real time as you make changes. On a wide screen it sits to the right of your settings. On a laptop it can open as a panel over settings. On a phone it is a Preview button — open preview or Chat with AI, not both at once. You can switch between different saved states and preview the calculator against any product in your catalog.
Steps
- Choose a preview version — Use the toggle at the top of the preview panel to switch between Draft (your current unsaved edits), Saved (the last saved version), and Published (the version currently live on your store).
- Select a preview product — Click the product selector to choose a product from your catalog. The preview renders the calculator as it would appear on that product's page.
- Pick a variant — If the selected product has multiple variants (e.g., sizes or colors), choose a variant from the dropdown. This is especially useful when your base price is set to Selected Product Variant, since the starting price changes with the variant.
- Interact with the preview — Fill in fields, toggle options, and select choices inside the preview to see how prices update, visibility rules fire, and the layout responds.
