Access control for the Online Store channel. Lock any content; grant access with passcodes and more.
Locksmith lets you control access to products, pages, collections, or your entire store in your Online Store channel. Add Locks to any piece of content to restrict access and/or hide it from view. Add Keys to locks: these are conditions under which a visitor gets access. These access conditions include customer account tags, email addresses, passcodes, secret links, geographic location, purchase history, date/time, and more. Combine keys as needed, and custom logic is also possible using Liquid.
