Restrict Pages to Members Only (Exclusive Access)

Restrict any site page (e.g. blogs, collections, guides) so only members of selected membership plans can view them.

With Subi's Page Exclusive Access feature, you can now make specific pages on your store visible only to members of your membership plans. This allows you to gate valuable content or sections of your site, elevating the value of your memberships.

How It Works

  • Assign exclusive access to specific pages based on your customers’ membership plans.

  • When a customer subscribes to a designated membership, they automatically gain access to those exclusive pages.

  • Only eligible members can view your restricted content, such as:

    • Premium blogs

    • Hidden collections

    • Private guides

Step 1: Create or Edit a Membership Plan

Navigate to the Plans section in your Subi dashboard. Create a new plan or edit an existing one.

Note: Perks can only be set up on a saved membership plan. On a new plan that hasn't been saved yet, the Perks of Members section shows the message Save this plan first. You can enable perks as soon as it is saved. and its buttons are greyed out. Save the plan, and the buttons become available.

Step 2: Open the Exclusive Access Perk

Within the plan settings, scroll down to the Perks of Members section and find the Exclusive Access card.

  • If exclusive access isn't set up yet, click Enable.

  • If it's already set up, the card shows a green Active badge. Click Configure to change it.

The Active badge appears only when at least one tier has exclusive access turned on and at least one product or page selected.

Step 3: Set the Perk Details

The Exclusive Access Perk window opens.

  1. Under Select tier:, choose the tier where you want to offer exclusive page access. A tier that already has exclusive access on shows a green Active label. If your plan has only one tier, there is no tier selection.

  2. Turn on the toggle next to Apply exclusive access for "<tier>" members?. While the toggle is off, the fields below it can't be edited.

  3. Click to expand the Exclusive Access Pages section.

    To add a page:

    1. Enter the relative URL of the page you want to restrict in the Page URL field.

      this means the part of the URL after your domain name.
      ​      For example, instead of entering https://yourstore.com/collections/exclusive,

      simply enter: ​/collections/exclusive

    2. Click Add another page if you want to include more URLs.

    3. To restrict pages for other tiers, switch between them under Select tier: and repeat the steps. Your changes on each tier are kept while you switch.

    4. Click Apply to save your settings. Subi saves every tier you changed in one go and shows Perks saved successfully. Click Cancel (or close the window) instead to discard all your changes.

Note: You can also use a pattern with a * (star) to match multiple pages.

The * means "anything can go here".

Example: /products/* matches all these:

  • /products/flower

  • /products/box

  • /products/special-item

All the pages that follow this pattern get exclusive access automatically.

Note: A tier can't be saved with exclusive access turned on and nothing selected. If you click Apply in that case, Subi shows Pick at least one product or page for these members, or turn this off. on that tier and saves nothing until you add a page or product, or turn the toggle off.

Step 4: Review your setup

1. Visit any of the pages you’ve set as exclusive.

2. If the related membership hasn't been purchased: An exclusive access block will appear at the top of the page with a message like:

3. To test access, place a test order for the corresponding membership plan.

Refresh the page — you should now see the whole page appear, confirming access is properly granted.

  1. In the Exclusive Access Perk window, expand the Exclusive Access Pages section.

  2. Click on Customize next to “Would you like to customize the "Pages Access Denied" page?”

    • Login Text – Optional text for returning members (e.g., Already a member?).
