Sign-up and price control: decide who can see your store, your prices and buy.
Ask visitors to log in before they browse, hide prices from guests, and approve each new customer yourself. Built for trade buyers and members-only stores.
Free plan. No credit card needed.
What is sign-up and price control?
Customer settings decide what a visitor sees before and after they log in. You can open the store to everyone, show it without prices, or close it to logged-in customers only.
Turn on sign-up approval and new customers wait for you before they can order. Your sign-up form can ask for a GST number, a licence or any detail you need to decide.
What you can do
Five switches and one form, set once in Customer settings.
How sign-up control works
From switching it on to a buyer’s first order.
Choose who can see the store
In Customer settings, decide if visitors must log in to browse and if guests see prices.
Set up the sign-up form
Add the questions new customers answer, such as GST number or a licence upload, and mark which are required.
Turn on approval
New customers sign up and wait. Optionally hide the store from them until you approve.
Approve or reject
Open Sign-up approvals, read the answers and documents, and decide. Approved customers can order straight away.
What the customer sees, and what you set
A clear wait for them, one list for you.
What the customer sees
They sign up with the details you ask for. Until you approve them, they cannot order, and with the store hidden they see no products.
What you set
Each switch with a plain line under it. Switches that depend on another one say so.
What you can set
Every setting that decides who sees and buys.

| Log in to see the store | Sends visitors who are not logged in to log in or sign up. | On or off. |

How stores use it
Three everyday cases, with made-up names.
Emma Wholesale screens every buyer
Emma asks for a tax number and a trade licence at sign-up and approves each buyer herself. Prices stay hidden until a buyer logs in, so her trade rates are not public.
Sam shows designs, not prices
Sam keeps his catalogue open so anyone can browse designs, but turns off prices for guests. Shoppers log in with a mobile OTP to see the price of a A$1,470 necklace.
Olivia asks for login only at checkout
Olivia lets everyone browse and fill a cart. Customers log in at checkout, so every order belongs to a customer account with its order history.
Edge cases and limits
What happens when switches depend on each other.
