Customer registration with invitation code only

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request to enable invite-only customer registration in Shopify.

  • Goal: Allow account sign-up solely when a user enters a valid invitation code, issued either by an existing member or directly by the company.
  • Desired flow: On the registration page, a mandatory code field must be filled; without a valid code, registration should be blocked.
  • Reference model: Functionality should mirror BestSecret’s gated registration approach.
  • Scope/constraints: No technical approach, app, or script details were provided; no discussion of native Shopify capabilities vs. custom solutions.
  • Status: Initial inquiry only; no answers, solutions, or decisions yet. The question remains open with key uncertainty about feasibility and implementation options.

Hallo together :slightly_smiling_face: Is it possible to implement a functionality at Shopify so that you can just register when you have received a code from an existing member or from the company direct? So it should work like BestSecret. When you clicking in registration on the website you have to insert a code, so that you have the possibility to register. If you don’t have a code, you can’t register.

Thanks for your help!
