SHOPLINE’s Password Protection feature allows you to set up a login page, adding an extra layer of protection by requiring visitors to enter a password before accessing your store.

When your store is not linked to a custom domain, SHOPLINE automatically activates password protection, with no option to disable it. To regain control, link a custom domain and set it as the main domain before you can disable password protection.

Setting up Password Protection

Password protection is a feature only available for stores with a paid plan and a custom domain. Once you've upgraded your store’s plan and linked your domain, you can enable or disable password protection using the following steps:

1. From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Online Store > Preferences.
   
2. Locate the Password protection section and configure password protection based on your needs. 

• To enable password protection, select Enable password protection, enter the password and message you want to convey to your customers, and click Update.
  
• To disable password protection, uncheck the Enable password protection option and click Update. The protection measure will then be removed.
