Put Your Store On Shopify In Maintenance Mode
When you switch your Shopify account to the Pause and Build plan, your site enters maintenance mode immediately.
Make your Store Password Protected:
There might be a number of reasons why you would want to restrict access to your Shopify business with a password. For instance, you may want to block users from visiting your site until it has been upgraded or fixed, or you may wish to restrict their use of specific features.
This function might also be useful if you have just launched your Shopify store and are currently tweaking and customizing its settings. Thus, go to your Shopify store>Online store> Preferences. In password protection, mark ‘enable password’. Click the ‘Password’ box and enter a password.
Justify your decision to need a password in the ‘Message for your visitors’ area. You may skip this step and leave the form blank if you want, however, providing a polite explanation for your visitors is highly recommended.
Customize Password Page
To modify the store’s login page further, go to Online Store > Themes and then click on the ‘Customize’ button. From there, go to the ‘password page’ after you’ve reached the personalization page through the search bar up top. The editable features are accessible from the left sidebar of the password page.
The header text, customer remarks, and footer of the password page may all be modified. By selecting the ‘Add sections’ option, you’ll be able to include such features as expandable content, a contact form, a collection list, and many more.
You may also edit the ‘Password footer’ to include links to your social media profiles. In ‘Theme settings’ adjust anything from colors to fonts to layout. When you’re done making adjustments, choose ‘Save’ to commit them.
