On the Preferences page, you can manage your App proxy, adjust the Terms and conditions and Pro program policy for your application form, find your Member URL, and manage Notifications.
​

App proxy

Alliance Pro can display member status and application forms directly on your storefront through Shopify’s app proxy. This lets you surface Alliance Pro features on your site without editing your theme’s code.

Theme

Select your store’s theme architecture so the app proxy applies the right styling:

  • Online Store 2.0: Modern Shopify themes with sections on all pages, JSON templates, and app blocks.

  • Vintage: Older themes built before Online Store 2.0. These may require more manual adjustments.

  • Custom / Non-standard: Heavily modified or fully custom themes that don’t follow standard Shopify architecture.

If you’re unsure which one applies, you can check your theme version in the Shopify admin under Online Store → Themes.​

Member URL

Add the Member URL to your storefront navigation so customers can access the application form and current or expired members can view their membership details.
​
We recommend adding it to your footer navigation menu. You can also add it to your main menu or another location on your storefront.
​

In order for customers and members to access this page, this URL must be added to your storefront navigation. We recommend adding this URL as a menu item to your footer navigation menu. You can title the menu item something like "Pro program" or "Membership home", or anything that suits your business's needs. Alternatively, you can also use this URL as a menu item in your main menu navigation or elsewhere on your storefront. Learn more about editing your navigation settings in the Shopify admin.
​

If you customize the App Proxy URL in Shopify, the new URL will not appear in your Alliance Pro preferences.

Redirecting customers after login or registration

If you want to ensure customers are redirected back to your pro program after logging in or signing up, you can modify your login and registration links to include a return URL.

Use the following links:

  • Login: /account/login?return_url=/apps/alliance-pro → Redirects users back to the Alliance Pro dashboard after logging in.

  • Register: /account/register?return_url=/apps/alliance-pro/application → Takes new users directly to the application form after registration.
    ​

Optional: Auto-redirect logged-in customers

To automatically redirect logged-in customers back to Alliance Pro, you can create a custom template and add a custom Liquid block in your theme editor:
​

{% if customer %} <script>window.location.href="/apps/alliance-pro"</script> {% endif %}



Application form

Your application form can be accessed by customers and members using the Member URL that you add to your storefront navigation. In Preferences, you can customize the application form by adding your own Terms and conditions and Pro program policy.

You can also choose whether the file upload field is required.
​

A setting to make file uploads a required field on the application form.



Notifications

Under Notifications, you can review email notifications sent to your customers and configure how they're sent. Under Notifications, enter the email address that should receive staff notifications, choose whether to send a notification for new applications, and select how to send customer notifications.
​

Customer notifications can either be sent directly by Alliance Pro, or you can connect your Klaviyo or Mailchimp account to manage customer notifications.
​

🔔 If you choose Klaviyo as your preferred method of handling customer notifications, customers won't receive any notifications until flows and segments are set up in Klaviyo. Click here for more information on integrating Klaviyo with Alliance Pro.
