Great question - this is possible using a third party app. There are a quite a few different options out there for how to achieve this: You can require registration, or a certain customer tag, lock products behind a passcode like you mentioned or create country-specific collections, or give certain customers secret links.
One popular app that can carry out all of these functions is Locksmith by Lightward. You can read a full list of the options available here - I would advise carefully researching each one to find one that suits your exact needs. I hope this helps!
I’d love to help you out with some business growth ideas - how do you feel things are going at the minute? Is there anything you’d like to improve or change?
I am running a dropshipping store for women’s clothing. In the last week, I have re-launched my store with the aid of Shopify Partner. I am very happy with the new store.
I am keen to drive more sales. But unsure of the route to go, FB ads, Google ads or Influencer/Affiliate Marketing. I like the idea of Affiliate Marketing (pay per sale, rather than per click), but I am finding it hard to identify people to join or whether to join one of the large online networks.
That’s great Melissa, congratulations on your re-launch! And very interesting you mention affiliate marketing as it is definitely a big consideration for fashion brands such as yours. I have a really useful blog post here that gives a good overview of affiliate marketing using Shopify.
For a lot of fashion brands, Instagram is a really strong platform to use for affiliate marketing. Is this something you are considering? We have a course here on how to harness the power of Instagram for marketing, including touching on using influencer marketing so it is definitely worth checking this out for some ideas.
