# Hide wholesale collections from guest users

Lock selected pages (not the whole site) and show a login/signup form or custom message instead.

**Goal**\
Lock selected **pages** (not the whole site) and show a **login/signup form or custom message** instead.

**When to use this recipe**

* You have a **wholesale info page**, resource library, or partner docs.
* You want those URLs visible only to logged-in or tagged customers.

***

#### Step 0 – Before you start

* Identify the URLs/pages you want to protect (e.g., `/wholesale`, `/partners`, `/resources`).

***

#### Step 1 – Lock Target

1. Go to **Locks → Add lock rule**, select **Create my own lock** in the **Start with a preset** modal, then click **Continue**.
2. In **Step 1 – Lock Target**:
   * **Lock name**: `Lock wholesale info page`.
   * In **What do you want to lock?**, select **Pages, blogs and URLs**.
   * Under **Select content type to lock**, choose **Page**, **Blog**, or **URL**.
   * Select the page(s) you want to lock (e.g. `Wholesale`, `B2B Information`) under **Restricted pages** → **Specific pages**, the blog(s) under **Restricted blogs** → **Specific blogs**, or enter a URL under **Restricted URLs** and click **Add**.
3. Click **Next**.

***

#### Step 2 – Access & Message

Choose the access pattern:

**Option A – Logged-in customers only**

* Condition: **User type → Signed-in customers - Must be logged in**

**Option B – Only tagged customers (wholesale/partners)**

* Condition: **User type → Tagged customers – Must have specific tags**, with the tag `wholesale` (or `partner`) in the **Customer tag** field.

Then set the message. This is where the **UX** matters most. In the **Preview** card (e.g. message **Login View Pages**), click **Customize message**:

* Under **Message type** → **Message on Locked Page**, choose **Custom message**, **Custom page**, **Login form and custom message** or **Sign-up form and custom message**.
  * If your store uses Shopify's **new customer accounts** or your theme doesn't support classic login, the app shows a warning and marks **Login form and custom message** and **Sign-up form and custom message** as **NOT SUPPORTED**.
* Under **After logging in, redirect customers to**, choose **Return to the page where login was requested**, **Custom page**, **Account page** or **Redirect by customer tag**.
* Under **Message content**, edit the **Custom message** (or click **Edit with editor**) and set:
  * Headline: “Wholesale information for registered customers”.
  * Body:
    * Explain who the page is for.
    * Explain the next step (login, signup, or contact).
  * Add:
    * **Login** button/link.
    * **Create account / Request access** link.

If you don’t allow self-registration, clearly say “Contact us to request access” with a link.

Click **Next**.

***

#### Step 3 – Exclude Pages

Optionally check pages in **Exclude from lock rules** that should stay open to everyone.

Click **Save** (the button next to **Back**, or **Save** in the **Unsaved changes** bar at the top of the page).

***

#### Check your page

* As a **guest/unapproved user** → opening the URL should show your lock message and login/signup options.
* As an **approved customer** → after logging in, the page should load normally.
