This we only had a short post and alone with this introduction, he is already twice as long 😉
It should go to the question, how to switch by entering the URL between different Store Views – when times not Language Switcher / Dropdown / flags or similar. is available.
For this one remembers the code of the desired Store Views (System > Stores Management – below the desired store view is the code searched) and then comes in the following constellation the URL in your browser:
meinedomain.xyz/?___ store = HierderCode
Then simply call.
Short and simple – but you have to have to mention it.
