1. Why You Should Upgrade to PREMIUM Version?
We would suggest using Premium if you want to hide products completely from non-targeted customers.
It will cause less confusion.
2. Enable the app
In order to make the app work, you should go to Dashboard and enable the features you want to use.
2.1. Force Login Rule
The Force Login rule means non-logged-in customers will have to create an account and log in to see the content.
On the left panel, choose Force Login > FL Rules > Create rule.
The setting is extremely easy to follow:
2.1.1. Enable the rule
The priority will be considered when there are duplicated rules. 0 is the highest priority.
2.1.2. Set Rule setup
Instead of showing the pages' content, it will show the message and the form set as above.
You can choose among three options available:
- Custom content message
- Shopify Default Login Form
- Custom content message and Login form (recommended).
We would recommend the last option since you can show the Login form directly to customers and set up the redirection after they log in successfully:
- Account Dashboard - My Account Page of Shopify Default
- Custom Page - a specific URL path. For example: /collections/all
- Restricted Page - the locked page the visitors are trying to access.
2.1.3. Choose Customers To Grant The Access
You can choose specific customers to grant and prevent access.
- Restrict all not logged in visitors: Any logged-in customers can see the pages' content.
- Allow customer by tag(s): Only chosen customer tags can login and see the pages' content.
- Allow specific customers: Only chosen customers can login and see the pages' content.
- Restrict customers by tag(s): Chosen customer tags and non-logged-in customers can't see the pages' content

2.2. Disable Registration Form
Go to the app and scroll down to the bottom of the left panel.
Select Setting > General Config > Disable Registration Form.
Set the function to Yes and the Create an Account will be hidden under the Login form:
And when visitors go directly to the Registration Page /account/register they will see the message.
2.3. Passcode Rule
Instead of requiring customers to create an account, you can quickly send them passcodes. That way, you can decide who to send the passcode to access the pages.
On the left panel, choose Passcode > PC Rules > Create rule.
The setting is extremely easy to follow:
2.3.1. Enable the rule
The priority will be considered when there are duplicated rules. 0 is the highest priority.
