Hidden store

Topic summary

A user wants to hide their entire store from public view while still being able to send checkout links to specific customers for selected products.

Proposed Solution:

  • Enable password protection on the store through Shopify admin
  • Navigate to: Online Store > Preferences > Password Protection section
  • Select “Restrict access to visitors with the password”
  • Set a custom password to control store access

This approach would prevent general browsing while allowing the store owner to share direct checkout links with intended customers who have the password.

Is it possible to hide all products from public, but be able to send checkout links, i don’t want anyone to come and look at my store or try to buy something, just the customers whom i send checkout links with specific products selected

Hi @javaine , thanks for reaching out.

In this case, I recommend you set a password for your store.

From your Shopify admin, please go to Online Store > Preferences. In the Password Protection section, you will select Restrict access to visitors with the password. In the Password field, you will enter the password that you want to add to your online store and restrict access with. Please take a look at my screenshot here for further details: https://prnt.sc/8eoe8PB4_3_8

I hope my information is helpful to you.
