Where to find it

Shown to every visitor while the store has a password (Online Store → Preferences → Password protection). In the theme editor choose Password in the page selector (under Others) and select Password page.

​
How it works

  • It has its own layout without the store header and footer: a top bar with your logo and, when Show the color mode switch is on in Theme settings → Colors, the light and dark mode switch.
  • Dark top bar (on by default) keeps the bar dark in both modes and uses the logo for dark mode from Theme settings → Logo when there is one.
  • An empty Heading uses your store name followed by is getting the shelves ready. An empty Text uses your message from Online Store → Preferences, then a line inviting visitors to leave their email.
  • The email signup checks the address before sending it, shows Shopify’s errors, and saves the visitor as a customer who accepts marketing, tagged newsletter and password page. Then it thanks them.
  • Enter using password opens the store password field. After a wrong password the page comes back with the field open, an error under it and the cursor in it. Without JavaScript the field is always shown.
  • With a Photo, the Store fact blocks (up to four) sit on the photo; without one they show in a row under the text. Below 900 px the photo moves under the text.
  • The footer has the store owner login line (Show the store owner login line) and the copyright line.
  • There is no countdown. If you announce an opening date, write it in the Text.

In the theme editor: 1 the section in the sidebar · 2 its settings · 3 the section in the preview

​
Edit it

  • Write the Text for this page, or leave it empty to use the message from Online Store → Preferences.
  • Add a landscape Photo at least 1200 px wide, and up to four Store fact blocks with a short Value, such as 3 or $50. A new Store fact block starts with Store fact, Value and Small text as its words: replace all three.
  • Use the Label and Detail beside the label for a short status, such as Opening soon and the cities you ship to.
  • Turn off Dark top bar if your logo is dark and you have no logo for dark mode.
  • Replace Note under the field with what subscribers will get. On install it holds guidance (Say what subscribers get when the store opens), and visitors see it as written.
