Here's a step-by-step guide on how to restrict access to the customizer, ensuring only registered users can create custom products in the ScalePrint Designer & Variants admin panel and your Shopify store:

1. Go to the Settings Option

   Begin by accessing the Shopify admin panel. Navigate to "Settings" > "Customer Accounts," where you can manage account configurations. Choose between "Accounts are optional" or "Accounts are required," based on your preference to ensure customer login functionality for restricted areas.

   

2. Select the Checkbox for Restricting Access

   In the ScalePrint admin panel, navigate to the "Access Settings" section under the "Customizer Configuration" menu. Look for the checkbox labeled "Restrict Access to Authenticated Users" and select it. This setting ensures only logged-in users can access the customizer. Save the changes to apply this restriction.

   

3. Login Required for Customization

   To ensure only registered users can access the customizer, navigate to the "Access Settings" section in the ScalePrint admin panel under the "Customizer Configuration" menu. Enable the checkbox labeled "Restrict Access to Authenticated Users." This feature requires users to log in before customizing products, enhancing security and providing a personalized experience. Save the changes to activate this setting.

   

4. Registered User Login

   To access the product customization feature, users must be logged into their registered accounts. Navigate to the login page and enter your credentials to proceed. This ensures a secure and personalized experience, allowing you to save your designs and access other exclusive features. If you don’t have an account, use the "Sign Up" option to create one before proceeding.

   

5. Customization Option for Registered Users

   The customization feature is available exclusively for registered users. Once logged into your account, navigate to the product page and select the "Customize" option. This provides access to all customization tools and settings, allowing you to personalize the product as per your preferences. If you’re not logged in, you’ll be prompted to log in or register before proceeding with customization.
