## **Turn any product into an exclusive benefit for your active subscribers.**

You can now limit the purchase of specific products — physical or digital — to users with an active subscription on any of your plans. Perfect for building member-only catalogs, exclusive editions, or driving subscription growth with irresistible perks.

## How it works

- **Per-product control:** Enable "Subscribers only" directly from the product page or via bulk import/export (XLSX).
- **Checkout guard:** Non-subscribers see a clear "Exclusive for subscribers" message with a "Subscribe now" CTA — no workaround through carts, gift purchases, payment links, or 100% coupons.
- **Catalog stays visible:** The product remains discoverable; only the purchase action is gated.
- **Access is preserved:** Buyers keep access to products they already purchased, even if they cancel or pause their subscription.

💡 **Result:** A new lever to turn your catalog into a subscription driver — with zero risk to the shopping experience of existing subscribers.
