How can I prevent Google from displaying prices on my password-protected website?

Topic summary

A Shopify store using a Wholesale App has pricing behind a password, yet Google is still showing prices publicly. The poster asks how to remove these prices from Google.

Proposed actions:

  • Keep password protection in place so unauthenticated content isn’t accessible to crawlers.
  • Add a noindex tag on the relevant pages to prevent them appearing in search results.
  • Update robots.txt to disallow crawling of pricing URLs (example: User-agent: * / Disallow: /pricing-page/).

Key terms: “noindex” is a directive (via meta tag or HTTP header) telling search engines not to index a page. “robots.txt” is a file that instructs crawlers which paths they should not access.

Outcome: No confirmation that these steps were implemented or effective. The issue remains open with the suggested measures pending verification.
