Here are the rules for we apply membership tags: article

You can use membership tags to enhance the member experience on Shopify, including creating exclusive content for members through a paywall.

In this guide, we'll walk you through creating a member paywall using Shopify Liquid.

This will allow you to restrict certain content to members only, enhancing the value of your membership program.

Here's how to set up a member paywall in Shopify:

1. Create a new template for gated content:

   Navigate to Themes > Customize > Edit Code > Templates

   Click "Add a new template" and choose "page" as the template type. Name it "page.member-content" (or any name you prefer).

2. Add the following code to your new template:

{% layout 'theme.liquid' %}
<div class="page-width">
  <div class="grid">
    <div class="grid__item medium-up--five-sixths medium-up--push-one-twelfth">
      <div class="section-header text-center">
        <h1>#{{ page.title }}</h1>
      </div>
      <div class="rte">
        {% if customer %}
          {% assign is_member = false %}
          {% for tag in customer.tags %}
            {% if tag == 'Withfriends' %}
              {% assign is_member = true %}
              {% break %}
            {% endif %}
          {% endfor %}
          {% if is_member %}
            <h2>Welcome, Member!</h2>
            #{{ page.content }}
          {% else %}
            <h2>Upgrade Your Account</h2>
            <p>This content is only available to members. Please upgrade your account to access.</p>
            <!-- Add a link or button to upgrade -->
            <a href="https://withfriends.co/thyme_teas/join" class="btn">Become a Member</a>
          {% endif %}
        {% else %}
          <h2>Please Log In</h2>
          <p>You need to be logged in to access this content. If you're a member, please log in.</p>
          <!-- Login form with custom redirect -->
          {% form 'customer_login' %}
            #{{ form.errors | default_errors }}
            <input type="hidden" name="checkout_url" value="#{{ request.path }}">
            <label for="customer_email">Email</label>
            <input type="email" name="customer[email]" id="customer_email" />
            <label for="customer_password">Password</label>
            <input type="password" name="customer[password]" id="customer_password" />
            <input type="submit" value="Sign In" />
          {% endform %}
        {% endif %}
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

3.. Create a new page with exclusive content:

• Go to Online Store > Pages

• Click "Add page"

• Enter your title and content

• Under "Template", select the new template you created (e.g., "page.member-content")

• Save the page

Now, when visitors access this page:

• Non-logged-in users will see a login form

• Logged-in non-members will see an upgrade prompt

• Members (with the 'Withfriends' tag) will see the exclusive content

This code checks for the 'Withfriends' tag to target all members. Adjust this if you want to target a different tag for a specific membership tier, by using the name of the specific membership tier instead of 'Withfriends'.

Other ideas:

You can use member tags to customize various aspects of your store, such as:

• Displaying different product prices for members

• Adding a thank you message for members during checkout

• Offering exclusive products to members only

By leveraging Shopify Liquid and membership tags, you can create a more personalized and valuable experience for your members, encouraging customer loyalty and increasing the appeal of your membership program.
