Themekit Shopify - How to try/preview code before releasing online? (no localhost possible) - shopify

I downloaded Themekit to be able to develop locally.
I am now trying to test my code before releasing it.
Unfortunately, as a localhost is not possible with Shopify & Themekit, I don't know how to proceed. As I make some design, I need to see in real time what I'm doing... Did anyone face the same issue? Any tips?

Hook up your theme to a development shop you open for yourself using your partner account. That way you can test your theme out.

I found the perfect tool for what I needed: http://motifmate.com/
Hope it will help others!

Elaborating on David Lazar's answer : Shopify's Development Store
From Shopify's documentation itself :
As a Shopify Partner, you can create an unlimited number of
development stores. A development store is a free Shopify account that
comes with a couple of limitations. You can use a development store as
a portfolio site for your business, to test any themes or apps that
you create, or to set up a Shopify account for a client. Setting up a
development store and handing it off to a client gives you a monthly
recurring revenue share.

Which service should I choose to convert a website to mobile app?

I am a newbie at programming. I know one or two things about c++ and I also have some knowledge with html and php but app developing is too hard for me at this stage. I want to create my mobile app and I heard about services which convert websites into mobile apps. Which service is the best one? Also, I heard that free services are really bad. Is that true?
Jamblam. Link: https://www.jamblamapps.eu They have great quality and performance. Also their prices are a huge plus.
Note: They make only Android apps.
2nd Note: Yes, free services aren't a good choice (crashes/not working).
you can use Apache Cordova and it is free, to convert your website to a mobile app for both iOs and Android applications. Check my explanation and steps on my GitHub profile, follow this link https://github.com/tshele/Convert-any-website-to-IOS-and-Android-with-Cordova
Jamblam Apps (now changed its name to Shibe Apps but the link is the same) is the best provider. BTW I answered such question before. -1 from me. I recommend looking for already answered questions instead of creating new ones.

What is the shopify workflow process for a site already in production that requires a completely new design for specific pages

I have never worked with shopify before but I have experience with other CMS's.
I recently got a client with a website already live and with some quick research, I see that I need to create a private app and manage the site with themekit.
What I need help with is how to properly set up a staging/dev environment to view the changes I make before pushing the changes into production.
Thanks!
Make a theme backup by duplicating your current theme. and make code changes in to this theme ( you can preview your changes without affecting live theme/store) when you and your client happy with the changes you can publish this theme to live.
Have a look how to backup / duplicate theme.

Hope this will help

Complete shopify backup offline

I have created shopify site now i want to create backup system for it.
I want to know is there is any way to create backup of each and everything daily basic on my local computer by default. Actually i don't want to depend on plugins
You can create a private App for yourself in your shop. With those credentials you are free to use the Shopify API to download all the assets of your shop to your local computer. Consider that a backup. Note that you cannot as of yet download your navigation links, but that is pretty much the only thing you cannot backup.
You will find this to be a challenge, backing up your site.

SAM broadcaster web integration with spacial.com

I have SAM BROADCASTER PRO and I want to integrate it to my website for live streaming and showing playlist.It will be a great help if I get a solution over here.
I can't write much more as I don't have much experience with it.
And one more thing it is bought from spacial.com
If you look the folder into which you installed Sam Broadcaster. By default I think it goes to /program files(x86)/spacialaudio/ you will find two folders, SamHTMLweb and SamPHPweb. Both of these can be uploaded to a web server and with a little configuration provide you with a dedicated web site for Sam Broadcaster.
If your desire is to intergrate it with an existing website than you can find code in either of these folders that you can incorporate into your existing website.

ebs or CCavenue payment gateways integration in prestashop

I am very new to PHP. I downloaded the software from prestashop and developed my site.
Is it possible to integrate payment gateways from EBS or CCavenue? because I want to use any one of them in my prestashop site. I found posts related to PayPal only.
Please let me know the possibilities.
EBS integration is quite straight-forward for prestashop. Once you get EBS account, go over to downloads section and you can get the EBS module for prestashop there. Download it, unzip and copy the folder named "EBS" to your modules directory.
Post this, you can see EBS as available module in admin. Install it, and add credentials in configuration section. You could start using TEST mode almost instantly. Good luck with your website.
now there is a readymade ccavenue prestashop module that works with the old and latest version of Prestashop. You can download this here http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/21391-ccavenue.html
