Checking your page on a phone and a tablet

2 min read · Updated November 1, 2026

This article covers the controls in the middle of the builder's top bar, which decide how your shop is shown to you.

Run through it before every publish. Most of your customers are on a phone.

Before you start

  • None of these controls change your design. They only change the screen your design is shown on.

Step 1. Switch the device

The three icons in the middle of the top bar are Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. The shop lays itself out for real at each width, exactly as it would on that device.

Desktop, tablet and mobile: the shop lays itself out for real at each width.

Step 2. Pick the model

The list beside the icons names real devices with their screen size next to each, so you can check the narrow phone your customers really carry.

On tablet and mobile a small list names the real devices, with their screen size beside each.

Step 3. Turn it on its side

On a phone or a tablet, the rotate button turns the device between upright and sideways. It matters more than it looks: a phone on its side is wide enough to get the tablet layout.

The rotate button flips the device between upright and sideways.

Step 4. Choose how large it is drawn

Fit shows the whole device on your screen, and the list beside it offers 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. The shop still lays itself out at the device's real width. Only the picture of it gets smaller.

Fit shows the whole device; the sizes below only change the drawing, never the real width.

Step 5. Read it in Arabic

The EN and AR buttons switch the shop on the page between the English storefront and the Arabic storefront, and Arabic reads from right to left. This is not the builder's own language: that is the small button in the view controls, next to the light and dark switch.

EN and AR switch the language of the shop on the page, and Arabic flows from right to left.

Step 6. Open the real thing

The arrow icon in the view controls, Open preview in a new tab, opens your draft as a full page in a new tab. It is the last check worth making before you publish.

The arrow opens your shop in a new tab, exactly as a visitor gets it.
