How can I make my store only accessible to registered customers?

 

Set up a splash page for customer accounts only or request an account verification.

 

Using a splash page


Use a splash page specifically for customer accounts to ensure that visitors must log in to access your store.
1. Go to [Themes (PC)>Features>Splash page] on your admin page.
2. Enable the splash page, select [Only customer accounts] and click on [Save].

3. Once you have saved these settings, the splash page will appear whenever someone accesses your online store.
- Note that you must be logged out to trigger the splash page.

 

■ How to edit the splash page

1. Open Smart Themes Editor for the theme you are currently using and click on the [All pages] tab on the left side of the screen.
2. In the “Splash page” folder, click on “Splash page (Customer login)” (member.html) and edit the page’s design.
You can also search for “member.html” in the search bar and open the file that reads “intro/member.html”.

 

Using the [Admin approval for signup] feature


Use the [Admin approval for signup] feature to have control over which customer accounts access your online store.

1. Go to [My Store>Store setup>General settings>Customers (tab)] on your admin page.

2. Enable for the [Admin approval for signup] field and click [Save] at the bottom of the page.

3. Once you have saved these settings, visitors will need your approval to create a customer account and use your online store.

 

■ How to approve accounts

Go to [Customers>Manage customers>Signup/Deleted accounts>Admin approval for signup] to find the list of customer accounts that are waiting for your approval. To allow an account to access your store, select it and click on [Approve].
