Custom Liquid block

Drop any HTML or Liquid onto the gate. Most often a Klaviyo form embed for an email or SMS signup, but it works for any widget or analytics snippet. Turn on Show a loading spinner until it appears so a spinner holds the space until the embed loads (Klaviyo and similar forms render a moment after the page).

Custom Liquid / HTML

Show a loading spinner until it appears

Klaviyo and similar embeds load a moment after the page; the spinner shows until they do.

Important: The store password itself is set in Online Store → Preferences → Password protection. The gate above is what visitors see while protection is on.
