Restricted and priority access
Use Shopper access → Change admission order or priority access when a launch needs an approved audience or a priority lane. These are different choices.
| Choice | Effect |
|---|---|
| Restricted access | Only approved shoppers can join |
| Add priority access | Keep the ordinary audience and give eligible shoppers a priority path |
| Weighted priority | Target three priority admissions for each standard admission |
| Priority skipping | Move approved shoppers to the next protected admission |
Neither priority mode reserves stock or skips the room’s safety and checkout rules. A ratio is not a promised exact position or waiting time.
Configure an invite code
Section titled “Configure an invite code”- Choose Restricted access, or enable Add priority access with your normal admission order.
- For a priority lane, choose Weighted priority or Priority skipping.
- Enter a Custom invite code using 8–64 letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, or hyphens. Do not reuse a password or other account credential.
- Review the audience and behavior summary, then save the draft.
- Test the shopper flow with an approved code and an unapproved entry before publishing broadly.
- Share the code only with the intended audience. Do not put a real private code in public screenshots or support attachments.
When editing a room with a saved code, a blank field keeps it; entering a replacement changes it. Do not assume a blank field means no access rule exists.
Customer-tag access, when available
Section titled “Customer-tag access, when available”The Shopify customer tag selector is shown only when that capability is enabled for the release/store. If it is available, choose the tag and follow the sign-in requirement shown by the app. Restricted tag access needs the signed-in customer to match the tag; displaying a sign-in button alone does not prove eligibility.
If the selector is absent, do not plan a tag-based launch or assume that a general Settings description activates it. Ask support about availability. The separate Growth and access roadmap page is not an activation screen for future audience tools, hype-room content, or marketing blocks.
Check the outcome
Section titled “Check the outcome”Reopen the room and verify its saved admission order, code-preservation notice, and sign-in behavior. Test allowed and rejected shoppers. A list signup or notification email alone never assigns an access rule.
