How to hide store while I'm developing it???

My client doesn't want his store to be seen until I'm done constructing his store.  How do I turn off or hide from the public, his store?  We have his domain connected to his store if that matters.

 

Thanks,

swing

Hey, @swingrays 

What you can do is ensure the password page is enabled. This will prevent visitors from viewing the homepage and going through your online store. Instead, they will be met with a 'Coming Soon' password page that you can edit. We have a step-by-step guide here that will instruct you on how to turn on your password page.

I hope that helps! If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

I guess this store is a development page?  I'm unable to set a message for visitors.  I don't want people to see the store before it's ready.
