Setting Up a Basic Lock with Locksmith App

Locksmith is a versatile app that allows you to set up locks for collections in your online store. By enabling locks, you can restrict access to specific products or collections, ensuring only authorized customers can view them. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up a basic lock using the Locksmith app.

1. Introduction

The Locksmith app provides an easy-to-use interface for setting up locks to protect your collections. By locking collections, you can control who can access certain products and create a more exclusive shopping experience for authorized customers.

2. Setting Up the Locksmith App

To begin, navigate to the Locksmith app in your online store. By default, the home page of the app will appear. Here, you will find the "Add Lock" section where you can set up locks for your collections.

3. Adding a Lock to the Collection

Before you can enforce restrictions on a collection, you need to add a lock. Let's go through the step-by-step process of adding a lock to a collection.

3.1 Enabling Lock Settings

Once you've accessed the Locksmith app's home page, locate the "Add Lock" section. In the search bar, you can search for the collection you want to lock by typing keywords related to it. If necessary, you can search using the entire title or the collection ID. Once you've found the collection, click on it to proceed.

By default, two settings are enabled: "Enable this lock" and "Protect products in this collection." Leave these settings enabled to ensure the lock is functional and the products within the collection are protected.

3.2 Protecting Products in the Collection

To restrict access to the collection further, you can customize additional settings. Under the "Settings" section, click on "For unauthorized guests." Here, you can choose to hide the collection and its products from your store's native search results.

Enabling this setting will prevent the collection and its products from appearing in search results and collection lists, providing a more exclusive experience for authorized customers.

3.3 Hiding Collection from Search Results

If your store includes a navigation link for the collection, you may want to hide it from unauthorized users. By enabling the "Hide any links to this collection and its products in my Shop's navigation menus" setting, the collection link will no longer be visible in your store's navigation menus.

This setting further enhances the exclusivity of the collection, ensuring only customers with the appropriate access can find it.

3.4 Hiding Collection Links from Navigation Menus

In addition to protecting the collection's link, you have the option to hide the collection from your store's search results page. Enabling this setting will prevent unauthorized users from stumbling upon the collection while searching for other products.

By carefully configuring these settings, you can create a secure and exclusive experience for your customers.

4. Creating Keys for Customers

To grant access to the locked collection, you need to create keys for your customers. Within the Locksmith app, click on the "Add the first key" button. Here, you can either scroll to find the "If the customer is signed in" key or use keywords to search for it.

The "If the customer is signed in" key condition will ensure that customers must be signed in to their account in order to access the locked collection. This adds an extra layer of security, allowing only registered customers to view the collection.

5. Customizing Lock Settings

Locksmith app provides several customization options to tailor the lock settings to your specific needs. Explore the different settings available, such as setting an expiry date for a key or limiting access to specific customer tags. These options give you greater control over who can access the locked collection.

6. Saving Changes and Confirming Setup

Once you have configured the lock settings to your satisfaction, click on the "Save" button located in the upper right-hand corner of the Locksmith app. This will save all the changes you have made to the lock's configuration.

To confirm that your changes have been successfully saved, you can go back to the home page and check if the lock for the collection appears under the "Collection One Lock" section.

7. Conclusion

Setting up a basic lock using the Locksmith app is a simple and effective way to restrict access to collections in your online store. By customizing the lock settings and creating keys for customers, you can create a secure and exclusive shopping experience for authorized users.
