I installed this app to lock out the online shop, while keeping the rest of the site active. It was a breeze to work with, easy to use.

We installed the app thinking that it was $5 / month. However, we learned that if you are a Shopify Plus customer it is $95 / month. A great value at $5, terrible at $95.

Sorry about that, I wish I could make this more clear in the pricing section.

We scale pricing for MagicPass because if we didn't, big stores would use an outsized chunk of server resources, so small stores would basically subsidize big stores, which felt wrong.

By asking Plus stores to pay a little more, we ensure everyone is paying for their fair share of server resources. This felt right, and hopefully makes more sense!

ABSOLUTELY do not add this to your store. I am a brand new small business, and I was looking for an option to help with wholesale orders. I am not yet at the level needed for Shopify Plus. If this is also you, DO NOT TRY USING THIS APP. It will interfere with your marketplaces, and they will removed permissions, which will lose you sales and cost you MORE time. This app locks pages- it absolutely works- HOWEVER. If you are using Google, FB, Pinterest, or Shop- YOU CANNOT USE THIS APP. I installed it, and almost immediately got booted from all of these services. They have merchant guidelines that don't allow for locked pages or products. Further. When I uninstalled the app, suddenly a brand new page pops up and tells you that you have to dig into the code, and remove their code. I am not a coder. I was livid that the app doesn't uninstall completely on it's own. Luckily, I did have an older copy of my site saved- I do this religiously every few days- and I reactivated it. And then spent time I don't have, updating what I had adjusted over the last few days. Finally. I got an email today, telling me I still have active code- which I don't- and that I have to reinstall the app, and then delete it again. I REFUSE. I lost time, and sales yesterday because of this app, and I am not giving you a chance to mess up my site again. I have deleted the version of the site that had the app installed. The app is not on my app list. I DID go in and look for the code that you instructed me to look for, and it's not there. So. I will, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AT ALL EVER be reinstalling this app.

Hi! MagicPass does not change any channel settings so I'm confused what happened here.

MagicPass has been around for a few years and this is the first time I've received this report, so any more info would be helpful!

Here are some quick responses but please send me an email so we can figure this out. Can you provide any more information from Facebook et al on why you were removed?

Facebook certainly does not have a problem with password protected pages (it's your site, so you can do what you want), but maybe you were publishing password-protected products to your Facebook sales channel? Since they're password protected, they won't be accessible on other platforms, so probably should not be published there. (You can still publish public products wherever you want, e.g. to Facebook, etc.)

For uninstallation, please use the automated uninstall tool! We seriously say this everywhere. I had to include manual uninstall instructions because it's a Shopify requirement, but you shouldn't need to edit your code.

In the unlikely event you really need to manually uninstall for some reason, please let me know and I can make the edits. It may be worth mentioning, you will not be billed if you reinstall just to use the uninstall tool.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, this sounds like a super frustrating experience, and I would like to fix it. Please send me an email!

You can reach me at ed@impress.store - hope to talk soon

Very simple, I only had a couple of pages to protect. Those pages were order forms I created using a third party app, and MagicPass is doing exactly what I need I need it to do. Easy peasy, problem solved--> thank you!

Please reinstall, and click “More actions” > “Remove from store” before uninstalling. You won’t be billed for reinstalling. We’ve reached out via our customer support to see if you need any help.

We also sent you an email with these instructions when you uninstalled, just search for the subject “IMPORTANT: Uninstall MagicPass” for more Information.

If you need extra help, this is also mentioned in the Help Guide section of our app.

I uninstalled this app just two days ago after starting the 30-day free trial but due to limited features and a UI that wasn’t intuitive i uninstalled. Despite uninstalling, I was still charged for a full month. Shopify's policy states that uninstalling should trigger a data deletion request within 48 hours, yet my information was seemingly retained and used for billing. Be cautious—this experience raises concerns about how data and billing are handled after uninstalling.

Says $5/month but when I tried to download it only offers $99/month. Quite a difference in fees. That coupled with complaints about a 1 day trial, I'm not going to risk it.

Instalé la aplicación para probarla y debido a que no cumplía con mis expectativas la desinstalé. Luego de hacerlo me enviaron un mail diciéndome que, para que quedara bien la desinstalación, debía volver a instalarla y me enviaron instrucciones de la desinstalación manual. Seguí todas las instrucciones, que incluyeron borrar archivos y datos del código, como el archivo: snippets/password-protect.liquid. Me enviaron todo eso en una guía en este link: https://passwordprotectedpages.upsell-apps.com/help/uninstall?utm_swu=9692 Eso generó ahora un problema en mi página, pues ahora no puedo hacer uso de contraseñas en la Configuración del tema de la página, por que al haber borrado ese archivo, como ellos me dijeron, ahora mi página arroja el siguiente error: Liquid error: Could not find asset snippets/password-protect.liquid Les envié un mensaje a su soporte y van un par de días que no recibo respuesta ni solución a este error que por instrucciones de ellos se dió. Ojalá me ayuden a resolver pronto el problema, por el momento no la recomiendo. ACTULIZACIÓN 8-NOV-2021 Luego de que puse mi reseña me enviaron un mail para ofrecerme solución. Me pidieron volver a instalar la aplicación y ellos se encargarían de corregir. Al hacerlo mi página se pudo volver a ver y borré la aplicación luego de que me contestaron que ya estaba todo en órden. Agradezco la atención pues finalmente se pudo resolver mi problema. Gracias!

Hi thanks for taking the time to leave this review! on Sep 14, 2021, in response to your feedback, we updated MagicPass to dramatically simplify how it integrates with your theme. Additionally, we've updated our 1-click uninstall tool to greatly improve its speed and reliability. We hope you'll take another look!

I love how the app was easy to set up and protect the collection I wanted for my Tshirt party; however, the discount is not being applied when customers enter the protected page. I did a test run and also tried manually entering the code at checkout without success. I hope someone can help me resolve this issue. Thank you.

Not good. Impossible to uninstall, makes your webshop lock so customers cant purchase without uninstalling the app which you have to program. Not a good app - stay away.

Hi, I'm sorry you had a negative experience with MagicPass. Unfortunately once the app is uninstalled we lose the necessary permissions to undo our theme changes (which are required for password protection).

We built an automated tool to make this process pain-free. Please reinstall the app (you won't be billed), then click More Actions > Remove from Store. Then uninstall the app again, and that's it!

If you prefer, we also email you a set of detailed instructions when you uninstall. Just search for the subject:
"IMPORTANT: UNINSTALL MAGICPASS."

Thank you!

Our store uses Magic Pass to lock content from customers that are not members of our Exclusive Membership Club. It's great for low volume businesses, but most likely won't work for us when we bring in large groups of customers.

I use this app to protect specific collections & VIP section. It works like a charm! The only downside is that to remove one password protected area, you have to delete all password protected areas and then put them back. All in all, I’m loving this app! I recommend it!
