Create Private Collection For Tagged Customers (Shopify Tutorial)

[@dmitryzhurbenko5513]

Hey Jody, could you post how to make private collection on 2.0?

[@louisverville]

I used this code to make it work- {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} {% section 'collection-template' %} {%else%} {{ pages.no-access.content }} {%endif%}

[@na77nu]

This should be pinned to the top! #bestcode

[@markwillis2780]

YESSSSS!!! It worked!!!

[@Thiago-ne7mx]

I was looking for it for like a whole day!!! And I couldn’t find nothing, then i found this video!!! It solves all my issues with private wholesale mebers!!!! Thank u soooo muchhh 🙏🙏🙏

[@dawiekruger552]

This works great. I do notice the products still appear in the search function on the website event if you are not logged in. And thus you get to the product via the search directly.

[@KingChozen]

Maybe those products have other tags, or they may be apart of other collections.

[@curlitabeauty]

hey great video, whats the JSON code please?

[@graphixjack3285]

One last step... Be sure to disable "Quick View" from your Collection pages and Product pages in the theme editor. That'll keep random customers from placing your "private products" into their cart. That happened to us, and it took a while of clicking around to figure out how a non-VIP person purchased a private product. Thanks, Jody!

[@MyTbop]

How do you do this?

[@graphixjack3285]

@@MyTbop Depending on your theme, these steps could be different. • Go to your Online store tab > Themes > Customize. • At the top center of the customize page, there should be a drop down list of pages to customize. • Select Collections > Default Collect. Then select the Collection tab in the left hand panel. • On the right, a new panel should open up with display options, and there should be a check box to disable the Quick View.

[@graphixjack3285]

@kayla bottle fed hot sauce Here's a quick video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rma0oauojc6rptk The theme used is ShowTime. Hope it helps.

[@graphixjack3285]

@Hillary Urubu Thanks for the heads up. I tested this out. I copied a direct link to the VIP product page and sent it in an email to myself on a different computer. I wasn't able to access the page without the credentials. Maybe you did something else to access it? I'd like to know.

[@ManesbyMorgan]

Figured it out!! Yay!! Now I would love a video that gives me the same thing when I add my collection to a page 😅

[@Zacnary]

Very helpful! I used this trick to make a wholesale area. Thank you very much. It was important that I could hide products from the regular crowd and you didn't explain in the video but thankfully you mentioned it in the comments.

[@BonikaShears]

This is exactly what I needed. So helpful.

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Awesome video! Just what I needed. Now is there a simple way to automatically tag a customer as soon as they purchase a specific item? So basically we are creating a "restricted page" that the customer would only have access to after they purchased a specific item. Thanks!

[@lieseho2072]

Hey Jody, thanks for this awesome tutorial! I love your teaching style, very clear! :D I was wondering, in the first line of code {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} can I change it so that anyone who has created an account gets to be an instant VIP without me having to tag them? I am obviously not a coder, but I am having fun building my first store! :D I hope you see this and can respond! Many thanks!

[@howtoshopify]

HI Liese, Sorry for the late reply; been a busy month. Yes, if you just change the if statement to {%if customer%} it will only look to see if the customer is logged in regardless of the Tags they have sent.

[@lacombemae]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you. How do you hide those items from everyone else in the search and other automatic collections?

[@howtoshopify]

You have to add the if statement around the product-grid-item include ( it’s different in every theme ) but you should be able to find it on search.liquid and collection-list.liquid. Or if you are on a newer theme with sections everywhere you want to look in snippets for the include file. Then put the if statement around that.

[@EHIGG100]

I keep getting the liquid error. Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type after I authenticate myself in my site. I'm using the Venture theme. Everything else is on point. How can I fix this?

[@whymeditationbymarleneschnoor]

Hi Jody, Great tutorial! I'll set up my own private collection using it! Quick question - when you have created a private collection .. is there any what to add automatic discounts to the products within this collection? A discount that only shows when the customer with the VIP tag is logged in? Hope you can help me clarify this :) Cheers, Marlene

[@howtoshopify]

Hi Marlene, so the answer to this is kinda of ? You can create a customer segment that is based on tags and then have the discount only apply to those client. However, the customer will need to login; which should be an issue for you since you are setting up a private collection based on tag.

[@BTWIP]

Great video!! In case you have a few different private collections triggered by different tags, is there a way to add maybe a hidden field carrying a string from a URL for example that would allow previous and new customers to had this tag automatically added to their account?

[@howtoshopify]

You can’t tag an account through the front end of Shopify. You would need to access the customer account through the API which would require a private app.

[@Philxxxxxx]

Great 👍 thank you for this! Can I ask that the products in the private collection would they also be hidden via the shop search or would the non tagged customers be able to get to those products by using the search? Thank you

[@howtoshopify]

Good question. Yes those products would be searchable. In the setup it’s assumed that you these products wouldn’t be found on any other collection page. If you want to do make the product page protected aswell you would have to do the same procedure on the product.liquid page.
