Hi all,
I would like customers to have to sign up to the website’s newsletter first before they can access a specific page.
I searched on Google for ways to do it but couldn’t find a straightforward way.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Integrate an app for building form page or registration page to your website.
Hi @elenaalexi
Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Shopify Community - I can see this is your first post!
From what you have explained it sounds like you want to lock certain pages on your store behind a newsletter signup. I can understand how that might be useful in certain situations.
May I ask what kind of pages you would want to lock behind the newsletter signup? Maybe certain products, or separate pages with specific information such as discount codes or sale info etc? I think it’s worth mentioning that not everyone will want to sign up to receive newsletter or marketing emails etc. so locking things like products behind signups could potentially lose you some sales, but I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
By default, there is no way to lock store pages in Shopify without using some sort of third party app or a custom coding solution. If you wanted a bespoke customization to help implement this functionality, then you could consider hiring a freelance developer from our Shopify Experts website.
However, there should be some off the shelf apps that will allow you to do this. I had a look on the Shopify App Store and found some that look interesting. I would recommend having a look over them, and if you like the look of any you can reach out to the app developers directly by clicking on the Support tab on the App Store page. That way, the developers can confirm suitability before installing the app. Here’s a few I would suggest checking out:
- Locksmith by Lightward - one of the listed features includes locking online store content based on ‘subscribes to newsletter’, so this might be ideal.
- LockOn‑ Restrict Store Content by miniOrange - this app has no reviews so it might be new, however it says that you can restrict pages based on customer tags. That might be useful for if you tagged all newsletter subscribers with their own tag.
Of course, there may be other experienced Community users such as Partners/Developers who can help here, so feel free to provide some more context on the use case for this idea, and either myself or others can try our best to steer you in the right direction!
Separate to this, have you put any preparations in place for Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Although that weekend is fast approaching, it’s not too late to start preparing so I would recommend checking out this YouTube video and also this blog post to learn some tips & tricks.
