Restrict Access based on Customer Tag

Applies to : Starter or Higher plans

Feature Description

The Restrict Access Based on User Login Status feature allows store owners to control visibility and access to different parts of their store, ensuring that only logged-in customers can interact with specific content. This is ideal for wholesale stores, membership-based content, exclusive product launches, or private storefronts.

Merchants can apply login-based restrictions to various elements of their store, including products, collections, pages, the entire store, and checkout functionalities.
