Feature Description

The Lock on Product Collections feature enables store owners to restrict access to entire collections, ensuring that only authorized customers can browse or purchase specific groups of products. This is ideal for wholesale catalogs, VIP-exclusive collections, members-only products, or regional restrictions.
