App configuration
This guide walks you through creating and managing a lock rule to secure your storefront. B2Bridge uses a single dynamic interface to control what is hidden, who gets access, and how the restriction looks.
Navigate to lock rule dashboard to begin.
Step 1: Status
Turn the lock on or off.
Check Rule enabled to enforce the restriction on your live storefront immediately.
Uncheck it to keep the rule as a draft.
💾 Note: Changes will trigger a save bar at the top of your screen — click Save to apply them.
Step 2: What to lock
Choose the restriction type from the Lock dropdown menu:
Hide products entirely: Completely lock specific items or catalogs from unauthorized eyes.
Hide product's price: Keep products visible, but mask the pricing and disable the "Add to Cart" button.
Hide specific pages / URLs: Lock custom pages, blogs, or internal resource links.
Step 3: Select what to apply the rule to
Depending on your selection in Step 2, you will configure either the product scope or the specific URL paths:
3.1. Hide products entirely/Hide product's price
Define which items this rule applies to using the Apply to dropdown menu:
All products: Applies the restriction across your entire store catalog.
Specific products: Allows you to handpick exact products or collections.
Tip: Click Edit products to open the selection modal. You can search by Product title, Product ID, Barcode, or SKU, and use filters to narrow down your target list.
3.2. Hide specific pages / URLs
Specify the exact web addresses you want to restrict under the Pages / URLs to lock section:
Page URL or path: Enter the specific relative path or URL of the page you want to lock (e.g.,
pages/wholesale-termsorblogs/news).Click Add to include the path in your restriction list. The entire content of any matching page will be securely masked and replaced with your custom display message.
Step 4: Access & Display Settings
Define who can bypass the restriction. The Display settings fields below will dynamically adapt based on your selection from the Allow access for dropdown:
4.1. All logged-in customers
Any user who has a registered account and logs into your storefront can access the content.
Message: Enter your custom call-to-action text (e.g., "Log in to view product" or "Log in to view price").
4.2. Customers with a specific tag
Restrict visibility strictly to verified accounts carrying a unique tag (e.g., B2B, Wholesale).
Message: Customize the fallback text for non-tagged logged-in customers.
Tip: To manage tags, go to Shopify Admin > Customers, select a profile, and check the Tags section on the right. Ensure your entry here matches Shopify exactly.
4.3. Visitors who enter a password
Require a shared passcode to unveil the hidden content.
Password: Enter the exact passcode shoppers must type.
Input placeholder: The ghost text inside the input box (e.g.,
"Enter password").Unlock button text: The label on the action button (e.g.,
"Unlock").Wrong-password message: The error note shown upon incorrect entry.
Styling: Customise the Button color and Button text color using hex codes to match your branding.
