1. Lock Entire Collection

• Lock collection page - Select this option if you want to lock the entire collection page.

By enabling this feature, your store visitors will not be able to right-click on your website content, copy your website content, drag and save images from your website, or even access the developer tools.

1. Lock Entire Website

By enabling this feature, your store visitors will have to log in before accessing the website.

For that, you need to go to Settings ➤ Checkout ➤ Enable "Require login before checkout."

1. Customer Account Approval

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

SMTP Host

The outgoing mail server is used to send emails. This value is provided by your email service.

Example: smtp.gmail.com

Port

Defines how your email connects to the mail server. Most providers recommend 587.

Encryption

Secures the email connection to protect data. Select TLS unless your provider specifies otherwise.
