Description

Desired Behavior

Provide a simple link in form of a button for single store products and in form of a dropdown for multi store installations that provides a link from the the taxon / product backend page to the frontend.

Current Behavior
Currently it's very cumbersome to visit a resource in the storefront requiering to identify the slug and root FQDN and write it into the address bar or navigate directly via the frontend to the desired product. Current alternatives like Woocommerce, BigCommerce or Shopify significantly shorten the road verifying the outcome of ressource changes by simply providing a link in the backend.

Research direction

Start by locating the admin product and taxon page entry points. Trace how storefront and resource URLs are represented for single-store and multi-store installations, then verify both button and dropdown cases; done when each backend page exposes the appropriate storefront link.
