Hey Jody, could you post how to make private collection on 2.0?

I used this code to make it work- {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} {% section 'collection-template' %} {%else%} {{ pages.no-access.content }} {%endif%}

I was looking for it for like a whole day!!! And I couldn’t find nothing, then i found this video!!! It solves all my issues with private wholesale mebers!!!! Thank u soooo muchhh 🙏🙏🙏

One last step... Be sure to disable "Quick View" from your Collection pages and Product pages in the theme editor. That'll keep random customers from placing your "private products" into their cart. That happened to us, and it took a while of clicking around to figure out how a non-VIP person purchased a private product. Thanks, Jody!

Very helpful! I used this trick to make a wholesale area. Thank you very much. It was important that I could hide products from the regular crowd and you didn't explain in the video but thankfully you mentioned it in the comments.

This works great. I do notice the products still appear in the search function on the website event if you are not logged in. And thus you get to the product via the search directly.

This is exactly what I needed. So helpful.

I keep getting the liquid error. Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type after I authenticate myself in my site. I'm using the Venture theme. Everything else is on point. How can I fix this?

Could you help me out? I keep getting this error " Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type

Amazing, very helpful

Hi Jody, Thanks for this tutorial. I wonder if you could help me out here. I'm not able to make this work. Is it because of the incorporation of JSON in shopify? I tried many different way, without positive result. I wonder if this still work with the new update. I hope it's just me the problem. Thanks Olivier

Hi, do you have an updated video using JSON format..?

This helped me a lot in the past couple of days. Thank you.

Incredible! thank you so much for the help!

Thank you Jody! How to do the same with JSON templates? That would help a lot, thanks!

hey great video, whats the JSON code please?

can you make a video showing, if customer want to enter to the VIP he needs to pay month or year.

this was so helpful! thank you so much straight foward

Great Video! Extremely helpful!

so complicated, I wish there was a easy way to just set up a password for a certain page, rather than password lock the entire website

Fantastic, thank you very much. Comes with "Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type" for shopify 2.0

Absolutely genius!! Thank you SO much this.

Thank you for the tutorial, Jody. I can't figure out how to edit the code with the changes for 2.0 to JSON format. Would you consider making an update to this video?

So good! Thank you!

doesn't work. keeps saying: Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type. you need to put section - 'main-collection-product-grid'

Hi Jody. Did everything word for word link you. When not logged into the store the code works as advertised. However when I login then try to view the collection I get this error message. (Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type) Do you happen to know what I am going wrong? This is the text I am putting into code. {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} {% section 'collection' %} {%else%} {{ pages.no-access.content }} {%endif%}

I have created the private collection, have tagged customers to restrict who can see the collection and everything is working as described. How do we hide the products from our catalog showing everything in the store. Those products are still showing in the catalog.

THANK YOU so much!

Has anyone got a recent solution to this? Also getting Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid

This is not working for me and I do not understand why. I created a product and a collection. I put in the syntax with the correction in the comments and its not working.

i keep getting an error everytime i want to save the coding on the page

Hi Jody, has there been an update to this? I'm using Impulse latest version, I think I have the 2.0 issue as there isn't a section for me to select on collections under sections - I can only pull in the collection header which is a bit useless 😂 I'm hoping there's some guidance you can offer 😄

Mine keeps saying sections/collection.liquid does not exist what am i doing wrong?

Hello jody, is this video for Debut theme or its the same, because when create a new template they tell me this "{% comment %} The contents of the collection.liquid template can be found in /sections/collection-template.liquid {% endcomment %}", is there any problem with me inorder to fix ?

is it possible to make the VIP tag process automated? for example, if the user has purchased 3 products then they will automatically get tagged as VIP.

Hi Jody, Great tutorial Thanks!! If the search bar is used by non-VIP customers, products are showing up & can be added to the cart. Is there a way to stop this?

Hey, I set everything up. However, when a tagged customer goes to view the collection they see the no access page for some reason?

I was able to create the collection and it’s private. But somehow I am still able to search the item from the search bar and it still shows to everyone. How can I correct this?

WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE PAGE IN THE NAVIGATION WITH PASSWORD ONLY ONE PAGE ??

Thanks a lot, it was very useful .

Jody this is amazing and so help- thanks a million! I'm having trouble here because customers who are tagged VIP still cannot access the private collection. I've followed the instructions to a tee several times but I can't seem to figure this out. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated! x

Thought this was the answer for me, but none of the sign-ups for my newsletter in flodesk appear in my Shopify customer list. I’ve integrated Shopify and flodesk, but since newsletter sign-ups are different from customers, this process doesn’t help unless I manually add the flodesk names to Shopify customer list. So much for automatic integration. 😢 Any ideas?

My collection still shows items although I am logged out.. Could anyone please help.. (Prestige Theme)

Hi, could someone help me i keep getting liquid error: error in tag ‘section’ - ‘collection’ is not a valid section type

Hi there, does this work anymore in 2023? I tried to copy the template and there was nothing there?

Visit us at www.sunbowl.ca/ to book a discovery call 🙂

I have tried this and got it to work... however... the products are still showing in the all products section (accessible to those who are not logged in). I'm trying to make a wholesale page, and want all of these products hidden to everyone except to those who are logged in and tagged as wholesale customers. Any insight?

Will there be an update for the 2.0 store?

For some reason, this keeps showing up "Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type"

Awesome video! Just what I needed. Now is there a simple way to automatically tag a customer as soon as they purchase a specific item? So basically we are creating a "restricted page" that the customer would only have access to after they purchased a specific item. Thanks!

Hello, this is a great video. I just want to create a private section on the website not for the general public. We have a particular set of items for one group of people. Is this the correct method to use? I am just having trouble because this a newer version. Can anyone help with adding a new template. When I add a new template there are other codes listed, not shown on the video. What do I do with those codes and should there be spaces between the lines? I created by collection pages, but my products will not allow me to select the collection I created a no access page but how do i connect it to the collection. Anyone help?

It is not showing the collection i want !! It Keeps showing a different collection! How can I solve it?

first let me say, great video! thank you for your help. I have a dilemma when I test this out, it works perfect when I am not signed in. When I test it as a signed in person, with the tags added to my customer profile, it doesn't work. It gives me an error, saying, "Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type. Can you please help?

Will the individual product if searched such as the bag name will it be found and opened by a non authorized user?

The Shopify create template look and feel is different now. Can you provide update? Thanks.

Hi Jody. Fantastic video's 🙂 - Could this be made with "private Menu for tagged customers" as well?

i keep watching this and its not clear on how to attach the 'no-access ' page.

Hey Jody, thanks for this awesome tutorial! I love your teaching style, very clear! :D I was wondering, in the first line of code {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} can I change it so that anyone who has created an account gets to be an instant VIP without me having to tag them? I am obviously not a coder, but I am having fun building my first store! :D I hope you see this and can respond! Many thanks!

Hello. Wondering if you have heard of this working with the Minimal theme? I have all the tags in place and it's still not pulling up the collection once I log in. Any tips?

I have got it to work on product page & the collection page, but when searching for these products they are visible in the search bar results once clicking enter, also in the suggested products when typing they are visible. I’s there a way to remove this?

This was working and now not working. Did shopify change something?

Hi Jody thank you for this it was very helpful, i have got my collections working perfectly, now i would like to have the collections page show only the collections that a customer has access to, do you have any videos that might help me to acheive this? Thanks :)

Hello Q? Would this same method work for certain products? I'm asking because, if the customer select "see all" products the "private collection" can still be seen. So, should I implement this same method but change the words to {%section or Tag' Product-Preorder'%} and continue with the rest of the code? #Help

Amazing tutorial! Thank you. How do you hide those items from everyone else in the search and other automatic collections?

not linking to the no access page

Hey, I'm getting this error " Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type "

Awesome video. Thank you. is this essentially a free locksmith?

Thank you, Jody. I can't see how to assign a password to the customer. Have I missed a step?

If the customer search for the product manually in the search menu, the product will show. How do i make my VIP Products only to appear in the private collection?

what if we dont want to put vip, i mean if we just want the user to login and he/she will be able to see that collection...what to do for?

hey thanks a lot for the detailed video, will this work on plak theme ?

GREAT tutorial. Is there a way you can unlock the private collection simply by them creating an account?

Can you please make a video showing how to make a collection private for only those who have made an account?

Im getting "Invalid JSON: unexpected token" any idea?

Hi, I'm trying to follow alog but my files are json not liquid, does it matter and can I create the new template under the json extension?

Now I keep getting featured collection pop up, help please

Great 👍 thank you for this! Can I ask that the products in the private collection would they also be hidden via the shop search or would the non tagged customers be able to get to those products by using the search? Thank you

I keep getting the no access page, even when tagged and logged in. How do I solve this?

Can we link this “hidden collection” to a “VANITY” URL? And it “appear” as that URL while the VIP customer shops or would the url turn into the normal site’s name that non-vip clients usually see?

Hi Jody, so I am trying to follow your step by step, however under edit code, mine comes with for contents unlike yours that has only one,. where do I write in the codes? thanks

Great video!! In case you have a few different private collections triggered by different tags, is there a way to add maybe a hidden field carrying a string from a URL for example that would allow previous and new customers to had this tag automatically added to their account?

Hi Jody, Great tutorial! I'll set up my own private collection using it! Quick question - when you have created a private collection .. is there any what to add automatic discounts to the products within this collection? A discount that only shows when the customer with the VIP tag is logged in? Hope you can help me clarify this :) Cheers, Marlene

Can i make it so that when someone makes a purchase it tags them as VIP? Thanks

How would you go about it with Shopify’s Online Store 2.0 where best practices for templates should be .JSON files instead of liquid? 🤔

Hey there thank you for the video great content. I'v done every step though even if the csutomer is loged in the page no-access shoes up ?

how can u remove the catalog option? or hide it from customers

Great tutorial. Unfortunately, I keep getting a Liquid Syntax Error for the {% else%} line. Thoughts?

instead of tags and such is there any way just to make it password protected?

code looks very different in my spotify account.

Hi I’m getting Liquid error: operator contains

do you have a tutorial for json?

Hey Jody. I keep getting this error. What should I do to fix it?

Can we please get an update for the error code a lot of us are dealing with?

If I wanted to make that collection free for members, how would I do that?

For some reason I am getting the error below: Liquid error: Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type Any reason why? Thanks in advance.

does it work the same for .json?

I do not have the "theme templates " bar in my collection . HeLp please

Another code to add into new private template if this doesn't work: {%if customer.tags contains 'vip'%} {% section 'main-collection-product-grid' %} {%else%} {{ pages.no-access.content }} {%endif%}

it's giving me this Liquid error (templates/collection.Secret_Store line 3): Error in tag 'section' - 'collection' is not a valid section type The words collection and vip are highlighted red in the code. So I’m guessing something is wrong there.
