# Lock your entire website & only allow B2B/wholesale customers

Make your store fully private so only approved B2B/wholesale customers can see any content.

**Goal**\
Make your store **fully private** so only **approved B2B/wholesale customers** can see any content.

**When to use this recipe**

* You run a **wholesale-only** business.
* You don’t want the public to browse your catalog or prices.
* You only sell to **approved customers** (e.g., tagged with `wholesale`).

***

#### Step 0 – Before you start

* Decide which customers are “approved” (usually via **tags** like `wholesale`, `b2b-approved`, `partner`).
* Make sure your B2B approval flow (e.g., registration form from B2B & Wholesale Solution) is set up to assign those tags.

***

#### Step 1 – Lock content

1. Go to **Apps → B2B Lock → Locks → Add lock**.
2. In **Step 1 – Lock content**:
   * Name: `Lock entire site for wholesale only`.
   * Target: **Entire website** (or equivalent “all storefront” option).

This tells B2B Lock to treat the whole store as gated content.

***

#### Step 2 – Control access

Let’s allow only **tagged wholesale customers**:

1. In **Step 2 – Control access**:
   * Add condition: **If the customer is tagged with `wholesale`** (or your chosen tag).
2. Optional:
   * Add **OR** conditions for internal tags (e.g., `staff`, `test`) if needed.

Everyone else (guests + non-wholesale customers) will see the lock message.

***

#### Step 3 – Advanced settings

Make the message clear and helpful:

* Headline: “Wholesale access only”.
* Body: “This store is available only for approved B2B customers. Please log in with your wholesale account or request access.”
* Add buttons/links:
  * **Login**
  * **Request wholesale account** (link to your B2B registration page)

Optionally, **exclude** public pages like `Contact` or `About` from this lock if you still want those visible.

Click **Save**.

***

#### Check your storefront

* As a **guest or non-tagged customer** → you should see the lock screen when visiting the homepage.
* As an **approved, tagged wholesale customer** → you should see and use the site normally after logging in.
