Feature Description

The Lock on Buy Now Button feature allows store owners to restrict direct purchases by disabling the Buy Now button for unauthorized users. This is ideal for wholesale stores, members-only purchases, pre-launch exclusives, or businesses requiring customer verification before checkout.
