Toksta's take

Locksmith brings real flexibility to Shopify stores needing granular access control. Its ability to lock individual products, collections, or even whole pages and restrict access based on tags, passwords, or custom rules opens up serious options for B2B, VIP, or exclusive product launches. The interface is intuitive and support is responsive, so getting started does not feel like a chore.

However, Locksmith’s reliance on manual configuration to fully hide locked content can trip up less technical users. If not set up properly, sensitive products might still surface in search, which undermines its core promise. Despite this caveat, Locksmith is a solid choice for merchants who need nuanced, customizable access controls and are willing to invest a little time in setup.

  • Easy to use for specific use cases like redirecting customers based on tags.
  • One user expressed strong negative sentiment ("I fucking hate locksmith") due to it leaving a "trail of destruction in the theme."
  • Concern about the app inserting its code at the top of the , which could be problematic for data privacy laws in some countries.
  • Potential for ongoing monthly costs, leading some to suggest building the functionality directly into the theme or using a theme with built-in features to avoid these costs.

Growth tip

Use Locksmith's customer tag feature in conjunction with its content hiding capabilities to create a B2B wholesale program: Tag your approved wholesale customers with a "wholesale" tag, then use Locksmith to hide specific products or collections (containing wholesale-priced items) from customers without that tag, effectively creating a private wholesale catalog visible only to your B2B clients.
