What it is
The Private Shop module turns your PrestaShop store into a closed, members-only platform, granting access exclusively to registered and approved customers.
Visitors who are not logged in are redirected to the login or registration page and cannot see products, categories or prices.
You can define which pages stay public, such as the contact page, and switch the mode on or off with one click.
Why make your store private
Not every online store is meant to be open to the public. Wholesale businesses, B2B platforms, membership clubs and professional networks need to control who can view products, see prices and place orders. You may want to hide wholesale prices from the general public, offer exclusive products only to vetted members, or require registration before any browsing. The module gives you that control without custom development.
Key features
- Full store lockdown: non-logged-in visitors are redirected to the login or registration page and cannot view products, categories or prices
- Access for logged-in users only: once a customer signs in, they have full access to the store
- Configurable page exceptions: define which pages remain publicly visible (for example the contact or registration page) while the rest of the store stays locked
- One-click enable and disable: toggle private mode from the module settings at any time
Use cases
- B2B and wholesale stores that need to hide pricing and product details from the general public
- Membership clubs and subscription platforms selling exclusively to registered members
- Professional dealer networks where only approved partners or resellers can place orders
- Corporate stores serving only employees or specific customer groups
Benefits for the merchant
The module gives you the access control you need to protect your pricing strategy, product data and customer relationships. Instead of building a custom solution, you can turn your PrestaShop store into a secure, closed platform in a few clicks from the back office, which saves development time.
Technical details
- Compatible with PrestaShop 9, Symfony-based with no core file overrides
