Locksmith

As someone with programming background, I am used to writing code to make software more efficient. Custom programs can automatically click checkboxes, execute actions based on those selections and present an appropriate message to the user.

When I install off-the-shelf software, I try not to get my hopes up too high. After analyzing data and running polls it became apparent that 40 percent of visitors’ view of what was valuable on my site differed from my target audience. As I responded by adding more products, there was a struggle to maintain simplicity for the core audience.

I outlined a solution in my head and then presented it to my partner. There is a need to conditionally hide some pages and products. Blog pages need to have some preview text with indexable meta data. Access to specific portions should be monetized — all while maintaining compatibility with 17 other apps running the site. It really seemed to require a custom programming solution.

With approval to search the App store, I discovered Locksmith. The short video seemed great but I was worried about the finer granularity. So I read most of the Help pages on the site and queried developers about my plan prior to installation.

A working prototype was active within a day. Most of the time involved making duplicate copies of each blog article (long and short). Excellent tech support was available for UI refinements.

I am BLOWN AWAY with the results. The new features function like a custom-developed app. I am actually running three stores from one site with conditional discounts and other features based on customer industry categories.

There are not enough superlatives nor enough stars to express my satisfaction!

This app is incredible. Does exactly what it says and the support team has gone above and beyond to help me with any issues that I have encountered!

I needed an app that would lock-out pricing and buying for guests on my site. I tried several different apps and hands-down the function and support have been exceptional. The manual locking is ideal for price hiding, and the automatic locks are great for control over entire products, collections, pages, etc. The dev staff really know their product and are very responsive to support and accommodate your specific site needs. Kudos!!!

Works perfect and the support ist super fast. Question, counter-question, everything fixed in about 2h.

I am using this app to hide products that I can't sell outside the U.S., since my international customers were getting frustrated to see something they wanted, only to find that they couldn't actually buy it.
This app makes it easy to do, and furthermore, I love how it allows me to hide an entire collection without needing to manually hide each product within that collection.
All in all, I've had very few problems with this app, and whatever problems I did encounter were dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

Best App I found on shopify so far. Its simple, efficient and it works. On top of the apps performance customer service is great !

Awesome app! Works well and easy to set up.

Locksmith is the least expensive App we use for our store, but somehow is also the most powerful and useful. The developer actually has respect for his users and provides good documentation so that we can easily implement more advanced features with some simple Liquid, instead of asking for an account so that they can come in and edit our theme files without knowing what they're doing.

There's nothing wrong with the app :) It does what it says and more! It can lock anything I need via customer registration or even password. Country-specific, product specific and more. It does not disappoint so far!

Thanks for the app!

Great App and fantastic support. Does the job perfectly and support got back to me within minutes! We needed to make a line of products only visible to customers that have a certain tag and are logged in and it does the job. 5 Stars!
