All things Shopify and commerce
Hi, I have some products that are for professional use only and the trading standards do not allow me to sell this publicly. Does anyone know how to change this so that customers can not shop until they are approved as a qualified professional? I've attached a pic for example. Thank you in advance
Hi @LP29 ,
That's a great question. You can create a members-only store by making customer accounts required and customize your theme to remove the ability for customers to create accounts. Since this level of customization falls outside the scope of our support and if you have limited knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript, or Liquid; I recommend working with Shopify Experts. Shopify Experts are experienced with custom coding and can help you with this.
Alternatively, you can use third-party apps to manage customer accounts or control their ability to view the prices. With these apps, customers can checkout directly through the checkout since they would be approved for their accounts and view the prices. I’ve selected a few options for you to try out.
There are also wholesale apps that have some of the functions you are looking for built into their app, here’s a list of wholesale apps available in our app store.
Let me know what you think.

Hey @LP29,
Our recommendation for accomplishing something like this would be to use a combination of our Customer Fields app, and the Locksmith app.
The Customer Fields app would allow you to create a dedicated registration form for qualified professionals where you can collect the appropriate information/documentation and manually approve or deny accounts. You can also automatically add a tag to these accounts (such as "pro"), and then set up Locksmith to only allow access to certain products or collections if a user has that tag.
Thanks so much Brett, will defo look into this
