Hi MBP1
I think there are couple of apps on Shopify app store which might be able to resolve your purpose, you can check out LimeSpot Personalizer", “ReBuy Personalization Engine”.
Pls let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Ankit
Topic summary
Goal: profile customers via preference questions and assign profiles to control visibility of certain collections and products upon login; anonymous users see everything. Seeking app-based or tagging/segmentation approaches.
Solutions proposed include custom theme code with Shopify settings, requiring changes to most product listing templates. Another option is a forthcoming beta app being built by Rilek.
Existing personalization apps suggested: LimeSpot Personalizer and ReBuy Personalization Engine. These may dynamically tailor product visibility based on user behavior/preferences.
A detailed method uses Helium’s Customer Fields to collect preferences and auto-tag customers via form rules. Visibility can then be enforced with Liquid or the Locksmith app, similar to “members-only” stores; a blog and trial link were provided.
Latest updates: OP shared email with Rilek and will explore the suggested apps, acknowledging Helium’s solution and 14-day trial. Ankit plans to follow up on a public app and asked if suggestions helped.
No pricing estimate or final selection has been made; implementation path remains open.
