Customer Access lets store administrators define whether certain information is visible to logged-out users.

The feature lets you give your customers the ability to hide content from customers that are not logged in to their shop. You can restrict access to prices, products, product availability, carts, and shopping lists.

Content Restrictions

A Back Office user can manage customer access in Customer > Customer Access. They can hide the following content types:

  • price: a customer does not see the price if they are not logged in:

  • order-place-submit: after selecting Checkout, the customer is taken to the login page.

  • add-to-cart: to add an item to the cart, a customer needs to log in.

  • wishlist: Add to wishlist button is not available for a logged-out user.

  • shopping-list: Add to shopping list button is not available for a logged-out user.

By default, all content types are hidden for a logged-out user.

A developer can add more content types on a project level.

Even if the Add to Cart button is available, an unauthenticated customer is redirected to the login page after clicking it.
