Alliance Pro is a brand new app developed and built by Orbit, and we're thrilled to finally share it with you. Anything missing? Anything you're looking to accomplish we're not doing yet? Help us shape this new app and request new features here.
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 into your storefront using Shopify's app proxy.
Shopify's app proxy lets you add app functionality from Alliance Pro like member statuses and application forms to your storefront without modifying your theme's code.
Under Theme, select which type of theme you're using so the app proxy uses the correct styling for your theme:
- Shopify 2.0
- Vintage
- Custom

Member URL
This URL is added to your storefront navigation and allows customers to access your application form to apply for a membership, and allows current or expired members to see details about their membership.
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. Click here to learn more about editing your navigation settings in the Shopify admin.
If you customize the App Proxy URL in your Shopify Settings, the new URL will not show in the 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 your preferences, you can customize the application form by including your own Terms and conditions and Pro program policy.
You can also choose whether to make the file upload a required field or not.
Notifications
Under Notifications, you can review email notifications sent to your customers and configure how they're sent. Enter the Staff email you want to receive staff notifications, select whether you want a staff notification sent for new applications, and choose your preferred method for handling customer notifications.
Customer notifications can either be sent directly by Alliance Pro, or you can connect your Klaviyo account to manage customer notifications in Klaviyo.
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.
