Creating locks for products

  • Updated

Here's a step-by-step guide with an example, 

  1. Click on the Create Lock button from your dashboard.
  2. Give a name to your Lock. For example, Restrict Access To Wholesale Products.LS_7.png
  3. Who is the Lock for?

    In this example (shown in the image below), you can see that selected customers tagged with 'wholesale' can access specific products in the store.

  4. Lock products settings: If you want to hide selected products/collections and their respective URLs from the storefront search results and/or from the SEO (Google Search). There are settings given in the dashboard (see the image below):
  • Hide lock listings from products: If enabled, the selected products will be hidden from collection pages.
  • Hide all links to the selected products: If enabled, Links (product URLs) for the selected products will be hidden from your Navigation/Menus.
  • Hide from search:
    i. Hide selected products from storefront search results: When enabled, the selected products won’t appear in storefront search results.
    ii. Hide selected products from SEO and storefront search: When enabled, the selected products will be hidden across your storefront and from search engines (including Google). Search engine updates may take time to reflect.

If you're NOT able to see these settings. Kindly reach out to us via themes@wholesalehelper.io or live chat from your dashboard. We may need to add some code to your current theme to make these settings work on your store.

5. The visitors/customers who are denied access to locked content can be easily redirected to a login page, a specific landing page or a different URL.

For this example, we can add a link to the Wholesale Signup Form so that the wholesale customers can easily register to gain access to the products.

Note: If you are hiding products A, B, and C and their variants, the Lock will automatically hide B & C.

Customers tagged with wholesale can easily see these products on the storefront.
