A Collection lock password-protects every product in a collection — including products you add to that collection after the lock is created. This is a paid plan feature.
When to use a Collection lock
- You have a whole collection (like a new seasonal line, or a wholesale-only catalog) that shouldn’t be purchasable until a specific date
- You keep adding new products to a collection over time and don’t want to remember to lock each one individually
- You need to lock more products than a single Product lock allows (20 max)
Requirements
The collection you want to lock must already be published to your Online Store. Launch Day checks this when you create the lock and will ask you to publish it first if it isn’t.
Creating a Collection lock
Follow the steps in Creating Your First Lock and choose Collection(s) as the lock scope, then click Select collection to choose which one to lock.
If a product in the collection is already locked by a different lock, that product stays under its original lock and isn’t affected by this one — Launch Day will warn you if it detects an overlap when you pick the collection.
Staying in sync automatically
Once a Collection lock is active, Launch Day keeps it in sync with your collection automatically:
- A product added to the collection later gets locked automatically, with no action needed from you
- A product removed from the collection gets unlocked automatically (unless it’s still covered by a different lock)
You don’t need to re-save the lock for these to take effect — Launch Day picks up collection membership changes on its own.
What customers see
Every product in the locked collection shows Launch Day’s lock screen instead of the normal product page — unless you’ve turned on Hide Buy/Shop Buttons instead.
