Demo links
Demo links are links placed within help guides to one of ShopWired's theme demo websites.
Demo links are placed within help guide content or AI content to demonstrate a particular feature.
Demo link example
The back in stock notifications app enables your visitors to request to be notified when an out of stock product or product variation is back in stock. It works by displaying a form on your website, as shown in the example below, where a visitor can enter their name and email address.

When to add a demo link
Demo links are appropriate and should be added in any one of the following circumstances:
- To demonstrate the appearance of a particular feature or piece of functionality (e.g. the back in stock notification form)
- To demonstrate how a particular feature or piece of functionality works (e.g. the stock on back order feature)
- To demonstrate a particular configuration of a website (e.g. hiding prices from non-trade customers)

Markdown format
When adding a demo link to help guide content or AI content, always use the format shown below:
[View a demo of the feature](url)!
You must ensure that the subdomain of the demo is to myshopwired.com
and not ecommercethemes.uk
.
Important notes
- Demo links are always to a specific page on a website
- They cannot instruct the user to navigate across multiple pages or ask the user to perform certain actions to see the demo in full
- Demo links can compare two websites together, showing one website where a feature is not activated (or the website is configured in one way) and another website where a feature is activated, e.g.
Demo: [the feature is activated on this website page](url)! but [not activated on this website page](url)!
- Demo links must be to ShopWired demonstration websites under ShopWired's control (theme demos) and not to client websites
- When adding a demo link to AI content, ensure that the link text is descriptive of what the demo shows
- Do not rely on surrounding text to provide sufficient context to the AI
