I am using the dawn theme and am wanting to do a pre-launch to our online store for anybody that has subscribed to email marketing. At the moment our landing page has a password on it whilst we continue to test our store with some friends and family. However, when we pre launch I was hoping to send a marketing email to our email subscribers with a button link to our website. At the moment I’m having to put the password in the email but feels a bit clunky and wondering if I can use a link that somehow bypasses the password for anybody that has that link. Is this possible?

Hey @beyondstore

It turns out you can add the password in the URL. E.g. https://store.com/password?password=YourPasswordHere
