Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRunning a wholesale catalog, a members-only shop, a VIP early-access drop, or a store that should only open after login? You need a way to show the right products and prices to the right shoppers - and keep everyone else out. Clay Lock lets you do exactly that. Pick what to lock, choose what locked shoppers see, and hand the key only to the customers you want.
Keep wholesale catalogs, VIP drops and members-only pages for the right people. VaultGate locks any page, product, collection or your whole store, then opens it with keys: passcodes, customer tags, logged-in accounts, secret links, schedules, location or custom Liquid. Hide locked items from menus, preview what any visitor sees with the visitor simulator, and catch overlapping locks with conflict alerts.
