# Hide wholesale collections from guest users

Hide one or more wholesale collections from guests and show them only to logged-in or approved customers.

**Goal**\
Hide one or more **wholesale collections** from guests and show them only to logged-in or approved customers.

**When to use this recipe**

* You have a collection like **“Wholesale” / “B2B Catalog” / “Distributor Products”**.
* You want regular visitors to see only your retail catalog.

***

#### Step 0 – Before you start

Identify:

* The **wholesale collection(s)** you want to hide.
* Whether access is granted to **any logged-in customer** or only **tagged wholesale customers**.

***

#### Step 1 – Lock content

1. Go to **Apps → B2B Lock → Locks → Add lock**.
2. In **Step 1 – Lock content**:
   * Name the rule:\
     `Hide wholesale collections from guests`
   * Choose **Hide collections** (or equivalent target type).
   * Select the collections you want to hide (e.g., “Wholesale”, “B2B Only”).

> (Screenshot idea: collection selector with “Wholesale” checked.)

***

#### Step 2 – Control access

Choose who can see those collections:

**Option A – Any logged-in customer**

* Condition: **If the customer is signed in**\
  → All registered customers see wholesale collections; guests do not.

**Option B – Only approved wholesale customers**

* Condition: **If the customer is tagged with `wholesale`**\
  → Only tagged wholesale customers see them.

Steps:

1. In **Step 2**, add your condition (signed in or tag-based).
2. If using tags, ensure your customers are correctly tagged (e.g., synced from B2B registration app).

***

#### Step 3 – Advanced settings

Optional refinements:

* Exclude any collections that must stay visible (e.g., “Retail”).
* Customize what happens if a guest hits a wholesale collection URL directly:
  * Show message “This collection is for wholesale customers only. Please log in or request access.”

Click **Save**.

***

#### Check your storefront

1. As a **guest**:
   * Wholesale collections should not appear in navigation, collections lists, or search results.
   * Direct access to their URL should show your lock message.
2. As a **logged-in or tagged wholesale customer**:
   * The same collections should appear and behave normally.
