Your storefront
Locking your store to wholesale only
Restrict the whole storefront to approved wholesale customers for a private B2B channel.
Pro Plan
Storefront Lock restricts your entire Shopify store to approved wholesale customers only. Perfect if your store is a B2B-only channel - a private portal for distributors, resellers, or manufacturers.
What happens when Storefront Lock is on
- Visitors who aren't logged in are redirected to your login page
- Customers who are logged in but don't have a wholesale tag see a "Access Restricted" page
- Approved wholesale customers (with a matching tag) browse freely and see their prices
Enabling Storefront Lock
- Go to Miko App → Settings → Storefront Lock
- Toggle it on
- Set a redirect page for non-wholesale visitors (optional, defaults to your account login page)
- Add any pages you want to keep public (e.g. your homepage or a "Request Access" landing page)
- Save
Tip: Create a simple landing page in Shopify explaining who your wholesale portal is for, with a "Request Account" contact form. Add this as an exempt page so new potential buyers can still find you.
