Lock price

Overview

The Lock / Hide Price feature allows you to control who can view prices, add-to-cart buttons, and certain store content.

You can apply this setting to your entire store, specific collections, or individual products.

This feature is available on B2Bridge Professional plan ($99/month).

Why Use Lock / Hide Price

Many B2B stores need to keep wholesale pricing and sensitive product information private. With Lock / Hide Price, you can:

  • Prevent retail visitors or competitors from seeing wholesale prices.

  • Run a hybrid store (B2C + B2B) and only show wholesale prices to approved customers.

  • Provide a clearer experience for unregistered users by guiding them to log in or register before viewing prices.

Use Cases

  • Restricting prices so that only logged-in wholesale customers can see them.

  • Displaying “Login to view price” instead of wholesale pricing for visitors without access.

  • Hiding specific products or collections from retail customers while keeping them visible to wholesale accounts.

  • Managing private product launches or VIP customer catalogs.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to configure Lock / Hide Price:

1

Go to B2Bridge > B2B Features > B2B Lock.

2

Click Create lock button and enter an internal name (for your reference only).

3

Choose what you want to lock. You can apply the rule to the entire store, selected collections, specific products, or only the product price and add-to-cart button.

4

Select any pages that should remain unlocked, such as your homepage or login/registration pages.

5

Define access rules by choosing which customers or groups can view the locked content. You can use customer tags, groups, or passwords.

6

Customize the message that unauthorized visitors will see. For example: “Please log in to view wholesale pricing”.

7

Save your changes. The lock will apply immediately, and unauthorized visitors will see your custom message instead of hidden prices or products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I hide only the price but still show the product details?

Yes. You can configure the lock rule so that only the price (and optionally the add-to-cart button) is hidden. The rest of the product details remain visible to all visitors.

Will hiding prices affect my SEO?

No. Search engines can still crawl your product pages and content. The Lock Price feature only controls what human visitors see based on access rules.

Can I show a custom message instead of the price?

Yes. You can display messages like “Login to see wholesale pricing” or “Contact us for access” in place of the hidden price.

Can I apply lock rules only to certain customers?

Yes. Access can be restricted by customer groups, or specific accounts. This way, only authorized customers see prices.

Can I lock prices for some products but not others?

Yes. Lock rules can be applied at the store level (lock the entire store), collection, product. You have full flexibility.

What happens if a customer without access tries to buy?

If add-to-cart is hidden, they won’t be able to proceed. Instead, they will see your custom message prompting them to log in or register.

Can I test lock rules before going live?

Yes. You can apply lock rules to specific test accounts or use draft configurations to preview how the lock works before publishing.
