About Locksmith

Locksmith lets you control access to products, pages, collections, or your entire store in your Online Store channel. Add Locks to any piece of content to restrict access and/or hide it from view. Add Keys to locks: these are conditions under which a visitor gets access. These access conditions include customer account tags, email addresses, passcodes, secret links, geographic location, purchase history, date/time, and more. Combine keys as needed, and custom logic is also possible using Liquid.

Great app and good team behind the scenes for help.
— OptiLabs by Evergreen Doctors
Erica from Locksmith was extremely patient and helpful recently. Would recommend this app, their product is great and their customer service is even better.
— Tamaras Sugar Western CA
The app is fantastic - it has removed the need for complex custom coding, and replaced it with a simple, intuitive easy to use app that can lock down our site exactly how we need it. Not only that, but the customer support team are incredible, nothing is ever an issue, the responses are prompt and informative. Highly recommend this app!

Good app and when I contacted support they were very helpful (Erica) and super quick to reply, many thanks.

Locksmith provides an elegant solution to make parts of your store more private and/or secure. It's technically sound, and the team provides rapid attention when needs or issues arise. It works if your needs are simple or if you have complicated things you want to lock up. I've worked in enterprise systems for a long time and am quite impressed by this tool.

Great app does what it say, support team is very helpful and fix's any issues you might have or point you in the right path. Also thank you Tristan for you help and fixing my issues and your support.

Excellent, tailored customer service, what can I say? Jed is so helpful, really drilling down to understand the needs of my website, and going above and beyond to provide the right solution late on a Saturday night!

trash app cant remove the locking support non existent
— Dear Loom
After i've uninstalled it, some code was still present in my theme, and it was showing error for customers that found me via google. They could not access products at all, it was showing error. I had to install the app, disable it in the settings, and then uninstall again. Lost a lot of money because of that.

DO NOT USE. We tested this app with a select group of VIP Pros for two months but ultimately decided against it due to the steep pricing structure. After canceling our subscription, our website immediately experienced significant issues. It took our IT team three full days attempting to remove all the leftover CSS. Eventually, the damage was so extensive that we had no choice but to duplicate our...

Terrible experience with this app. Firstly, the private link cannot be used in Klaviyo, so did not work as intended as for its promotional purpose. Now the apps installation has made our Shop sales profile become unapproved stating: Your Online Store is currently using password control or age verification app(s). To meet the requirements to Sell on Shop, please uninstall these apps. This is a...

DONT USE THIS APP!!!!! Be careful if you decide to DELETE it one day. My website was down for 3 days, and I couldn't detect the problem until Shopify detected that when I deleted this APP, was the problem that stopped my entire website!!

Was charged for this app even after it’s been uninstalled

Doesn't work Tried to create a lock on a page with a passcode - a very simple setup. Nothing. Didn't work. Not a good UX.

This app has caused me more bother than good. I would not recommend downloading locksmith! After downloading locksmith it has caused my products to be showing out of stock despite them being in stock. This has caused huge loss of sales. It has also stopped many website functions from working. The code behind this app is very unstable and if you are downloading it, it will be at your own risk. I a...
