Hi.

I have created a customer only shop.

I directed so when you browser to my site you need to login to see the products.

But if you dont want new customers to only create an account and start shopping.

I want to be in controll of who and what customers i have.

So when new customers click register i get a notification and then ill create a customer site.

Notification could be a mail.

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I believe the best way to achieve this would be to create/design a submission form with all of the relevant details that you need from customers to determine their eligibility for an account. Once received, you can proceed to create the customer account and email them their login information.

Alternatives to this would be to simply offer eligible customers a sign-up link, or utilize a third party app for creating membership-only content. Here are some tools to help you achieve this:

Contact Form | Easy Contact Us:

This app allows you to:

  • receive email alerts to new form responses
  • create forms with multiple fields options such as drop-downs, multiple choice, email, phone numbers, etc
  • make it into a pop-up or position it as a customer floating tab
  • design your own automated email responses
  • allow file uploads and more.

Simplee Memberships: This app will enable you to:

Offer memberships that shows customers exclusive content like pages, products and collections. You can also restrict the “add-to-cart” button and hide prices from non-members.

The best way to collect emails without anyone else seeing your store would be to customize and utilize the Shopify Password page. Otherwise, you could keep your website public while restriction prices and the cart, create a page that contains the submission form and offer exclusive content to those eligible for accounts.

Some of these changes may require editing the theme code. If you have a Shopify Supported theme, you may be eligible for Design Time to get some assistance with this. Reach out to a Support Advisor to put in a request here.
