Overview
While offering special discounts to 'Members' only is a great perk to make Memberships and Loyalty programs attractive with, elements that bring exclusivity, such as exclusive access to certain portions of your store, can also build demand for your Memberships, if tactically implemented.
Appstle Memberships offers this perk, through which you can Limit access the product page from non-members and make it members only. You can achieve that by simply following some of the steps mentioned below.
Step 1: Create a Membership Plan.
To set Membership perks, first you'll need to have created a membership plan. You can view the detailed process for creating a membership plan here.
Step 2: Select the Membership Perk.
After creating the membership plan click on Membership perks as shown in the screenshot below:
In Membership perks, select the 'Limit access to specific product page' from the dropdown.
Step 3: Pick the selector for the product page.
A selector of add to cart button is required to hide the product page. You can find this by inspecting the elements of your storefront. If you are not comfortable with selectors, please contact our 24X7X365 support team, and they will be more than happy to help you out.
Once you have the selector, simply paste the selector as shown in the screenshot, and customize the block message to suit your needs.
Step 4: Choose the restriction method
We provide two methods for the restriction:
1) Restriction via URL
2) Restriction via product attribute
Restriction via URL
If you want to hide a specific product page, you need to select "Exact" from the "Path match type URL." It means a product page that exactly matches the URL entered in the URL Path will be hidden.
NOTE: You just need to copy the last part of the URL, i.e. the path after your shop name ends.
Now, paste the URL and save the plan. With this, you are good to go.
By selecting "contains" from the dropdown, you can hide all products that include the same term in the URL.
According to the screenshot below, the product pages containing 'products' in the URL will be hidden for non-members.
2. Restriction via product attributes.
Another method to restrict product pages is through product attributes. In this method, the product pages will be visible to non-members as well, but once they click on the product page, a block message will appear!
Through this method, you can hide specific product pages by their tag, vendor collection, or product type.
3. Hiding the product page by the product tag.
To hide a specific product, you need to paste the tag in the given field. You will find the tag of the product from the Shopify admin.
Once this is done, the display message/block message you write for non-members will appear to the members, instead of the product.
Hiding the product from the collection page.
This will help you to remove the product from the collection page as well as from the product page! To hide from the collection page, you will need the value of the handle from the console of your product page. If you need any help with it, please reach out to us we will be happy to help.
You can also restrict the customer from purchasing the specific product by the vendor name or by type. You will find both the values in the Shopify product section.
Now, simply copy and paste the value into the value fields.
After completing the above steps and hitting 'save', only members will be able to see the specific collection pages or specific products on the collection pages in your store.
NOTE: Members must be logged in with the email account from which they bought the membership to your store, in order to see the product page.
