How it sells itself

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.

Lock access to any product, collection, page, or blog post on your store. Protect your content with either a password, or use customer account tags or emails to grant entry to locked pages. Easily prevent hidden products from showing up in search, SEO, and collections.
