How to hide my shop while the rest of the website is visible

[Cek4k4]

Hi there,

I am launching a new business and I would like customers to be able to visit the website but not be able to view the store until my launch date. Is there a way to make the shop page say "coming soon" or to hide the shop on the main menu? I want people to be able to click around on the other pages without being able to purchase anything yet. 

Thank you.

Hey @Cek4k4 

Yes this can be done by visiting your admin dashboard then click on Online Store -> Preferences -> Password Protection then scroll down to where it says Enable password

Here is a guide that will help if anything is not clear https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/password-page#add-password-protection-to-your...

Hope that helped

Hi @SidouLF . Thank you for the suggestion.

Enabling the password hides the entire website. I only want to hide my shop and still allow people to view the other pages.
