See every featureWholesale buyers need to see prices your retail customers should not. A product launching next month should not be live yet. Store & Catalogue Visibility handles both with one rule engine: pick a product or collection, choose who it applies to, then decide what happens - hide it, password-lock it, redirect it, or mark coming soon, scheduled so nothing needs manual toggling.
Password protect pages, hide prices and products, sell retail and wholesale from one store, run VIP drops, or build members-only areas. Locksmith locks any page, product, collection, blog, price, or your whole Online Store, then lets in only visitors who meet your conditions: customer tags, sign-in, email, passwords, secret links, location, purchases, Klaviyo or Mailchimp lists, dates, and more.
- Easily target customers by name, tags, and countries for enhanced visibility.
- Hide or replace products on listings and detail pages.
- Customize pricing with text or anchor tags.
- Conceal or replace the cart button.
- Hide products. Hide collections. Hide prices. Hide variant options. Hide pages.
- Reveal locked areas based on customer tags, passcodes, customer location, etc.

- Locksmith is developer friendly: use Liquid or our API for custom functionality.
