<figure><img src="/files/5ZrlUwP3lVrL7EKJuHJn" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Customer Account Approval** feature allows you to control which customers can access protected content on your Shopify store.

Instead of allowing every logged-in customer to view restricted pages, products, or collections, you can approve customer accounts using **Shopify Customer Tags** or **Customer Metafields**. Only customers who meet the configured criteria will be granted access.

This feature is ideal for:

* B2B & Wholesale stores
* VIP customer access
* Member-only stores
* Private product catalogs

### How to Configure Customer Account Approval

1. Open the **SHOPLOCK Login Required** app.
2. Navigate to **Login Restriction**.
3. Enable **Customer Account Approval**.
4. Choose the approval method:
   * **Customer Tag**
   * **Customer Metafield**
5. Enter the required Customer Tag or Metafield value.
6. Click **Save**.

Once configured, only customers matching the specified tag or metafield will be able to access the protected content.

### Example

Suppose you enter the customer tag **Wholesale**.

Only customers who have the **Wholesale** tag in Shopify will be able to access the restricted pages. All other customers will be denied access until the required tag is assigned.

> **Note:** You can manage Customer Tags and Customer Metafields directly from your Shopify Admin under **Customers**.

### Mail Server Details (SMTP Settings)

To send passcodes to customers via email, **SHOPLOCK Login Required** uses your store’s email server (SMTP). This ensures emails are sent securely and appear to come from your business email address.

You need to enter the SMTP details provided by your email service provider (such as Gmail, Outlook, or SendGrid).

### Where do I get SMTP details?

All SMTP details are provided by **your email service provider**. You can find them in your email account under:

* **Settings**
* **Mail settings**
* **Security**
* **SMTP / Outgoing mail**
* **Email client configuration**

If you already sent emails from your business email, your provider already has these details available.

### How to find SMTP Host, Port, and Encryption

1. Identify the email address you use to contact customers\
   (for example: Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, or a domain email)
2. Log in to your email provider account
3. Open the **SMTP or outgoing mail settings**

You will see:

* SMTP server (host)
* Port number
* Encryption type (TLS or SSL)

### Common SMTP details (for reference)

| Email Provider           | SMTP Host            | Port | Encryption |
| ------------------------ | -------------------- | ---- | ---------- |
| Gmail / Google Workspace | `smtp.gmail.com`     | 587  | TLS        |
| Outlook / Microsoft 365  | `smtp.office365.com` | 587  | TLS        |
| Zoho Mail                | `smtp.zoho.com`      | 587  | TLS        |

These are standard settings officially provided by each email service.

### Field-by-field explanation
