Description

Conceal any collection in your store and make it accessible via a secret URL only.

After hiding a selected collection, it can only be accessed by a secret URL, which you can share with your selected audience. This feature is useful for those wanting to run promotions, early access deals, or even a private group sale. Integration with Storefront Search makes it user-friendly. You can be confident that your secret collections remain hidden to Google search and the storefront but are searchable and purchasable like any other products once accessed by the secret URL.

Pros

  • Enables creation of secret collections for VIP or early access sales
  • Collections are accessible only through a secret URL, enhancing security
  • Collections remain hidden from Google and storefront search, ensuring privacy
  • User-friendly integration with Storefront Search allows hidden products to be still searchable once accessed
  • No user accounts required, simplifying the user experience for merchants
  • Customizable 'Access Denied' template allows for branding customization
  • Useful for promotions, private group sales, and early access deals

Cons

  • Potential risk if the secret URL is shared unintendedly, as it allows full access to hidden collections

Perfect for my needs. I have a few collections that I only use for sale specials. However, people could specifically search those sale terms and land on the sale collection. This app solved that problem. The collections are now hidden, and can now only be accessed with the "secret URL" this app generates. Thank you for an elegantly simple solution.

do not install this app, I never write reviews but these guys are terrible. I tried to remove their app and found out you need to remove their code manually. I followed their instructions to the letter, and it deleted almost all of my home page, luckily I had a back up. I reached out to them for support and they have not replied, there are far too many app providers like this on Shopify these days, avoid like the plague.

This app is super glitchy and with over 1 month waiting for support nothing has improved. I share the vip link to a collection and then it doesn't work. This is beyond frustrating!

I am giving this one star but if I could I would give it a zero star. The customer service was appalling. I sent a few messages asking for assistance and not one person responded to my query. It didn't give me any confidence to use this app so I worked out another way to achieve what I wanted to achieve without using them. I would highly NOT recommend using this app.

Hidden collection link works well when embedding on a mailout, but customers often get hidden error message when copy paste link for some reason? Also the items in the hidden collection are still searchable in store, so thats a bit useless, wish was a way to hide the items from store search.

Absolutely loved this app! Thank you for the free trial. Will definitely be using for my pre-orders every single year. Highly recommend for anyone with secret sales or private pre-orders. Having one dedicated collection link made it so easy to direct my customers to my private pre-sale.

Install with caution. This app was a huge headache to uninstall. Broke my theme, injects lots of code, no backups done by install. Developer's website has no support contact info. Poor experience overall.

*Edit*: This review was while the app had just launched and I've moved it to 5 stars. It works great! The team reached out to me and got it working for my premium theme and I'm quite pleased with their engagement, understanding, and enthusiasm. Very very pleased with this and I'm impressed with how this simple idea works so well. Definitely recommend this if you want a super-easy mechanism to offer secret collections to your VIPs. Even when I had trouble initially, the app was very gentle to my theme and didn't mess up anything on install/uninstall. But now everything is working great! My original review for reference: Really wanted this to work, but did nothing with my theme at all. Doesn't look like it even tried to install. Didn't show me anything but manual collections to hide and then didn't hide anything, etc. I imagine if you have an easy/simple theme then it would work okay to do its thing, but though it could generate links that took you to the collection, it didn't do anything to hide the product/collection from search/etc without its theme changes. 2 stars because it didn't destroy my store on uninstall -- but otherwise I would have done 1 star because it literally didn't do what it said it would. Only leaving a review because it had none, otherwise I would just assume it's not intended.
