How to make Shopify store password protected

How to make Shopify store password protected? Your online shop needs a password. By incorporating a password security page, you can limit customer access to your online business. Your online shop\’s \”password page\” serves as the entry point, where customers must enter a password before proceeding. Provide your consumers the password to your online store if you want them to shop there.

When your password page is activated, search engines will only be able to access the password page. Some pages, including product pages, are obscured so that they don\’t appear in search engine results.
