So i was still working on my website. but today it say i launched the website and i am confused about the website being live when i am still working on it. I closed the store to work on it but it says customers can still view the store. I do not want the customers to view anything at the moment because i am still working on it . How do i fix this ?
Topic summary
Main issue: The store appears publicly accessible (“launched”) while the owner is still building it, despite having closed the store. They want to prevent customers from viewing anything during setup.
Latest guidance: Add a password (password page) to the Shopify store so visitors see a gated page instead of the live storefront. A help link was provided explaining how to enable the online store password.
Action item: Enable the store’s password page to hide the site from the public until work is complete.
Status: No confirmation of implementation; resolution pending.

@recabrown333 you can add password for your store so your traffic can see this page instead of your main website: you can add password using this link: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/password-page#add-your-online-store-password
