Is there a way to password protect a page or collection WITHOUT an app?
I am setting up a patreon to allow customers early access to products and access to exclusive products. I really cannot afford to continue to buy apps.
I found a video on how to password protect a collection based on customer tags, but i want to be able to create a password to provide to customers who i want to have access to the page or collection so there isn't as much manual work on my end. I have a very basic understanding of code and can edit it with guidance.
How do I password protect the collection or page? That’s what I’m struggling with- the only thing I’ve found is a way to make customers log into my website, but I want to create the password and provide it to my customers.
Same here!
Just an update - So far I’ve still only found apps. I have been using the locksmith app which works well, I’m just tired of constantly paying for new apps!
Same here. I just downloaded Locksmith but now it's not loading!! And my 24 hour exclusive access campaign is starting in less than 12 hours... I may just give up on tech and go back to doing markets haha!
Oh no!! Have you reached out to their customer service? I’m sorry I know that’s probably stressful!
Thank you for your empathy. I REALLY appreciate it after today. They had an outage but it seems ok again! All done now, finally!!!
Hope this holiday season will go well for you!
Rather late reply, but I found your original question when I was searching for a way to do the same thing.
We were also already using Locksmith, and it turns out that there is already a built-in feature for this.
For reference, on their Creating Keys page: https://www.locksmith.guide/basics/creating-keys
You can create a lock for a specific product or collection or anything else on your site, and permit if the customer "gives the passcode". There are a few other useful options other than a single passcode for everyone. It's very flexible and did exactly what we needed.
Hi, You can do this very easily by following this video.
Hello @Momsstitchetti
Honestly, i don't have a ready solution in mind for your requirements, but I can suggest this cost-effective app which is useful and helpful for your requirements.

@Momsstitchetti I think Atelier is exactly what you are looking for! It allows you to make password protected collections and a whitelist of emails to access exclusive collections.
