Disable password protection on a new Shopify Plus sandbox store?

Dev Platform

Hello,

Previously created Plus stores (say 6 months old) had the ability to remove the password protection so that checkout extensions no-longer had the CORS issue and could be tested. It seems when I create a Plus sandbox store now that I cannot remove the password protection any more. Has this changed recently? The new Plus sandboxes were created on the new Dev Dashboard, the old ones on the Partner portal. On the Dev Dashboard the new sandboxes show as Plus and the old ones as Other.

What can we now do to test checkout extensions on a sandbox store to avoid CORS?

Thanks

Hey @Shaw.Andy are you testing by running app dev? The reason I ask is this should start a local development server for testing.

However, if this is occuring when using app proxy that is a known limitation. I’ll dig in to find out if there are alternative options for that.

Thank you for the reply @KyleG-Shopify, we are running the app remotely not locally, so as you say it’s a known issue with CORS accessing the app proxy when password protected.

Previously there was an exemption for Plus Sandbox stores specifically that you could remove the password even in development. The only way this seems possible now is to create an organisation and that organisation’s store can remove the password. However as this is limited in number unlike the Plus sandbox stores specifically it is not useful to us for development accounts.
