Private store not using a password

[Gzero1]

I am creating a store for a private club. 

Requirements:

1. Only members should be able to access the store via login credentials.

2. The site should not be password protected, the club would only like to restrict or provide access via logins. 

Thanks!

Hi @Gzero1 If I got you right you just want if the customer is login then only they can see the products and buy them out, if they are not logged in, then they can see the site but will not see products and can't buy them out, if this is the case then there are 2 option through which you can accomplish the same.

1. Custom Code: Can accomplish the same with the help of custom code so when ever the customer is not login you can hide the product pages and collection pages from them and once they will be login then you can show it.
2. 3rd Party App: There are apps in the shopify app store through which you can accomplish the same.

If you will unable to implement the same then I'm happy to do this for you, let me know. I can implement the code changes so that this will work well for you.

Hopefully it will help you. If yes then Please don't forget hit Like and Mark it as solution!

I also need to limit the customer base to members. I can either upload them via shopify or have them go to the site and submit a new login request and then I would approve based on a membership roster.

@Gzero1 Yes that can also be done with both the steps, whichever you need to select.

Which 3rd party app?

[Gzero1]

Custom code is fine as well. I would need to be able to add logins on the backend as customers or have the members request a login.

@Gzero1 You can use any option:

1. 3rd Party App: Just search "Lock store" or "Lock" in shopify app store and you can find bunch of the apps.
2. Custom code: You need to add that if the customer is login or if you want it as member requested then you need to make a segment of those customer and then with code you need to look into this segment and enable the product page to customers who are in this segment.

Hopefully it will help you. If yes then Please don't forget hit Like
