How do I password-protect my store before launch?
Easy Lockdown puts a password screen in front of your store and/or landing pages, so only people with the password can view them — useful before a public launch.
Steps
- Open Easy Lockdown from Apps.
- Under App Settings, set a Password.
- Choose Lockdown options: Lock online store, Lock landing pages, or Lock Both.
- Click Save changes. The app shows Currently protecting: Online Store, Landing pages, or Store & Landing pages, along with a Configured/Not Configured status.
Common problems
- Visitors say the password doesn't workpasswords are case-sensitive; double-check what you typed into Password matches exactly what you're giving customers.
- Landing pages are still public after locking the storeconfirm Lockdown options includes Landing pages (or Both) — locking the store alone doesn't lock landing pages, and vice versa.
- "Failed to unlock" message for a visitorthis is often just a wrong password entry; re-share the exact password, checking for extra spaces.
- Forgot the password you setgo back into App Settings and set a new password; there's no password recovery since you control it directly.
