Account
Account settings in Theme settings > Account help limit catalog or blog visibility to approved customers, optionally treat B2B customers as approved, and choose how restricted content appears.
How to change theme account
Set approved customers
- Open Theme settings > Account.
- Under Approved customers, enter Matching tags for customers who may view restricted content.
- Optional: turn on Enable B2B customers so logged-in B2B customers count as approved.
Set restricted content rules
- Under Restricted content, enter Hide products with tag and Hide blog posts with tag to hide those items from customers who are not approved.
- Optional: turn on Enable full restriction so only approved logged-in customers can use the site when your policy requires it.
Choose restricted style
- Under Styles, set Restricted style to Hidden or Placeholder.
Test with accounts
- Sign in as tagged and untagged test customers and confirm behavior before publishing.
Notes on account restrictions
- Tags must match how you tag customers and content in Shopify.
- Enable full restriction is a strong gate—confirm essential pages remain reachable for support.
- Placeholder keeps layout; Hidden removes items from view for unapproved customers.
