![Placeholder for Screenshot – Shopify Preferences Page]

Step 2: Enable the Password Page

  1. Check the box “Restrict access to visitors with the password”

  2. Enter a password of your choice

    • This is what you’ll give to team members or early access customers

  3. Add an optional message that appears above the password box (e.g. “Coming Soon – Enter Password to View”)

  4. Click Save

💡 Only visitors with this password can access your storefront. Others will see the Password Page.

Step 3: Preview Your Password Page

  1. Go to Online Store > Customize

  2. Use the dropdown at the top to select “Password” from the page list

  3. You’ll now be in the live preview of your password page

Use Case Ideas

🛠️ Development Mode – Hide your unfinished store while you build 🚨 Product Drop – Create hype with a countdown and unlock access at drop time 🎁 VIP Access – Email your password to subscribers for early entry

⚠️ Reminder: When you're ready to launch, return to Online Store > Preferences and uncheck the password box. Otherwise, customers will stay locked out even after your timer finishes.
