# How to create a Coming Soon page in Shopify?

A **Coming soon** page is a pre-launch landing page designed to generate excitement and anticipation for an upcoming product or store launch. It informs potential customers about your brand and when it will go live. This page is typically password-protected, ensuring no access to other parts of the website until the store is officially launched.

### **Step 1: Enable password protection**

* Log in to your **Shopify admin dashboard**.
* Navigate to **Online Store > Preferences**.

* In the **Password** field, enter the password that you want to add to your online store and restrict access with. Don't use the same password that you use to log in to your Shopify admin. In the **Message to your visitors** field, enter the message that you want to display to visitors on the password page. If you don't want to display a message, then leave this field blank.
* Save your changes.

**Note:** This process ensures that visitors can only access the Coming Soon page with a password, restricting access to the rest of your store.
{% endhint %}

### **Step 2: Navigate to the theme editor to customize your Coming soon page**

* From your Shopify admin dashboard, go to **Online Store** and click on **Themes**. In the **Current theme** section, click the “**Customize**” button.

### **Step 3: Customize sections on your Coming soon page.**

1. [Password header section](/coming-soon-page/header.md)
2. [Email signup banner section](/coming-soon-page/email-signup-banner.md)
3. [Password footer section](/coming-soon-page/footer.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.byinspiredlabs.com/coming-soon-page/how-to-create-a-coming-soon-page-in-shopify.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
