The 5+ Best Shopify Apps that Restrict Visitor Access to Content
Restricting content access to certain parts of your Shopify store is one of the most popular ways to increase value to your content or you want to set up endowment for specific customers. If you don’t know how to create a private content, so here are a number of Shopify apps to help you out in creating a private section on your Shopify store.
These are the best Shopify Restricting Visitor Access Apps:
1. Locksmith
Locksmith is for access control, on your online storefront. As a tool, Locksmith’s power comes from a super-versatile yet super-simple idea: locks to protect your content, and keys to let different people in.
Once you’ve locked something, use keys to grant access if the customer:
- has a certain tag
- is signed in
- gives a certain passcode
- arrives via a secret link
- is not signed in
- does not have a certain tag
- gives one of many passcodes
- subscribes to your Mailchimp list or newsletter
- subscribes to your Klaviyo list or newsletter
- has one of many email addresses
- the customer’s email contains something specific
- has purchased a specific product
- has placed at least x orders
- has a certain product in their cart
- has a certain variant in their cart
- has at least $x in their cart
- has a certain IP address
- is visiting from a certain country
- is visiting before a certain date and time
- is visiting after a certain date and time
Or, grant access using any custom condition by using a little Liquid code.
2. Login to Access Pages
Using this app, you can decide which specified page types or even all pages to be accessed by the logged-in users only. The guest visitors on browsing the restricted pages will see the force login message or be redirected to the login page based on your configuration. Take a look at the features:
- Keep all pages unvisitable without logging in
- Require login to access certain page types such as Products, Collections, Blogs, Articles, etc.
- Show custom content to inform visitors of the require login function, or
- Display the default login form for them to sign in quickly
- Redirect users to a specific page, making a streamlined shopping experience
If it is your requirement to apply “Login to Access” requirements for a specific page instead of page types, then you should upgrade to the PRO version to:
- Create multiple Force-login rules for different Products, Collections and Pages
- Define a specific period and priority to apply the rules
- Choose among three force-login options: Login form, Custom message and Passcode
- Also, redirect users to a specific page, making a streamlined shopping experience
