GateIQ is a full access-control platform for Shopify — 29 condition types across 8 resource types, composed with AND / OR / NOT, reinforced by a server-side Shopify Function that a bot can't bypass. Plus an AI engine that watches churn and fraud so you don't have to.
Most "gating" apps stop at password-protect-page. GateIQ lets you compose sophisticated access rules across every resource type on your storefront, then enforces them server-side so they actually stick.
Customer tags, spend thresholds, country, passcode, secret links, custom Liquid expressions, age verification with signed cookie, email domain, UTM parameters, engagement score — all 29 compose with AND / OR / NOT in nested groups.
Lock products, collections, pages, blog posts, variants, prices, cart, or the whole store. Each lock has its own conditions, its own branded lock screen, its own translations, and its own A/B-testable copy.
The only gating app on Shopify with a server-side checkout enforcement layer. Our gateiq-cart-validation Function runs inside Shopify's sandbox — a bot direct-posting to /cart/add.js still gets rejected at checkout.
Enable the app embed once in the theme editor and padlock badges appear on every gated product card across collections and search pages. Works on Dawn, Debut, Impulse, Brooklyn, Minimal, and most custom themes — no liquid edits.
B2B mode replaces .price selectors with "Log in to see price" and neutralizes Add-to-cart / Buy-it-now across Dawn, Debut, Impulse, Brooklyn, Minimal, and most third-party theme ATC patterns.
Four-stage drops (scheduled → teaser → live → ended) with a theme-extension countdown block that syncs from admin in real time. Pair with a lock so VIPs get early access while everyone else watches the timer.
Every top gating app on the App Store ships a static rule builder. GateIQ ships a real AI engine that predicts which members are about to leave, catches credential sharing and bot traffic before checkout, and lets you describe the rule you want in plain English.
Type "VIP-tagged customers from the US who spent over $500" and GateIQ writes the rule for you. Lower the barrier for merchants who know what they want but not how to build it.
AI scores every member based on how they're actually engaging — logins, access activity, purchase cadence, time on the platform. The members about to cancel light up before they do, so you can win them back.
Flags credential sharing (the same account suddenly signing in from many places) and bot patterns (impossible click speed, automation signatures). Device-level and behavioural checks built in.
Lock views, access granted / denied, new members, and revenue — each with week-over-week trend and a 7-day sparkline. "This week at a glance" on the dashboard means you spot anomalies before they become incidents.
GateIQ is a full monetization surface — not just a door.
Unlimited tiers billed through Shopify Subscriptions — no Stripe setup. Monthly / yearly / weekly / one-time. 7-, 14-, or 30-day trials per tier with auto-transition to paid.
Wholesale and affiliate tiers with a Pending Approval queue. One-click Approve / Reject with server-side resolution and audit-ready member list.
Unified Email hub — Campaigns, Templates, Providers. Native SendGrid & Klaviyo with your API keys encrypted at rest. Seven system templates, AI-generated copy, and statistically validated A/B tests on subject lines.
On-demand AI translation per entity, per locale, per field — with an auto_translated flag so merchants can override. Language pack scales with your plan.
Permission decisions return in under 100 milliseconds, even at scale. The moment you change a lock or add a member, the new policy goes live everywhere — no stale grants, no waiting for a cache to clear.
Industry-standard encryption on every access token and third-party API key, at rest and in transit. Each merchant's data is fully isolated — Store A cannot read Store B's data under any access pattern.
Full Shopify GDPR data-request, customer-redact, and shop-redact compliance — every one of your customers' deletion requests honoured automatically. IP anonymization, configurable data retention, and a Data Processing Agreement on request.
Hard caps per tier — no fake "unlimited." 30-day trial on every paid tier. 20% off annual billing.
