Exclusively for you

The problem with pop-ups

Pop-ups interrupt.
EmailGater converts.

Think about the last time a pop-up appeared 3 seconds after you landed on a site. Did you sign up? Or did you close it and keep scrolling?

Most email capture tools show a pop-up when someone lands on your site. That's when they know nothing about you, they haven't seen your products, and they have no reason to hand over their email.

EmailGater flips that. The email prompt appears only when someone wants to see a specific product - the highest-intent moment in your entire store.

They're not giving you their email for a 10% discount they'll forget about. They're giving it because they actually want to see what you're selling.

How it works

Set up in 3 minutes.
Capture emails for years.

Install & enable

Install EmailGater from the Shopify App Store and turn on the app embed in your Theme Editor. One toggle. No code.

Pick your products

Go to "Lock Products" and pick which products to gate. You can lock one product or your entire catalog - no limit on any plan.

Start collecting

Visitors see a blurred product with an email prompt. They enter their email, the product unlocks instantly, and their email lands in your dashboard - tagged with the product they unlocked and the time they did it. On return visits, the product shows up automatically with an "Exclusively for you" tag.

What you get

Six things that matter.
Zero things that don't.

Emails in your dashboard - not someone else's

Every captured email shows up in your EmailGater dashboard with the product name and timestamp. Export as CSV any time. Your data, fully owned by you.

Gate any product, anywhere

Lock individual products or full collections. The blur overlay appears on product pages, collection pages, your homepage, search results - everywhere that product shows up.

Returning visitors feel special

Once someone unlocks a product, their browser remembers them. On their next visit they see the product right away with an "Exclusively for you" tag. No re-entering their email.

Zero impact on store speed

Built with Shopify's native Theme App Extension system - no custom code injected into your theme, no third-party scripts slowing things down, no Lighthouse score drops.

Works with any Shopify theme

Whether you're on Dawn, Prestige, Impulse, or a custom theme - if it runs on Shopify Online Store 2.0 (or older), EmailGater works out of the box.

GDPR ready

You control all the data. Full privacy policy included. Billing runs through Shopify's native system so there's nothing extra to manage.

Who uses EmailGater

Is this you?

Limited drops

Launching a limited product? Gate it before it goes live. Build your list before the product drops, then email everyone at once when it's available.

Exclusive collections

High-end or members-only collections? Lock the products behind an email gate. Visitors feel like they're getting access to something special - because they are.

Premium lookbooks

Releasing a new season or campaign? Gate your lookbook or editorial products. Capture emails from people who are genuinely interested in your brand.

Early access

Want to reward your most engaged shoppers? Gate new arrivals so only email subscribers see them first. Run it as a perk for signing up.

How we compare

Not a pop-up tool. Not a
waitlist app. Something different.

vs Pop-up tools

Klaviyo, Privy, Omnisend

Pop-up tools capture emails broadly - usually with a discount code when someone first lands on your site. EmailGater captures emails at the product level, from people who want a specific thing you sell. That's the difference between a list and a qualified list.

vs Password-protected pages

Built-in Shopify feature

Password pages lock your whole store or a whole collection. EmailGater locks individual products - so the rest of your store stays open and you don't lose any other sales. Your store stays open. Your best product becomes your best lead magnet.

vs Waitlist apps

Back-in-stock tools

Waitlist tools make visitors wait for access - sometimes days or weeks. With EmailGater, visitors enter their email and the product unlocks immediately. No waiting, no drop-off.

Answers to the common ones

Does it work with my theme?

Yes. EmailGater uses Shopify's native Theme App Extension system so it works with any Shopify theme - Online Store 2.0 and older legacy themes.

Will it slow down my store?

No. The app runs through Shopify's native app embed system and doesn't inject any custom code into your theme. Your Lighthouse score stays the same.

What happens to the emails I collect?

They live in your EmailGater dashboard. You can view them paginated by product and date, and export them as a CSV any time. You own the data completely.

Can I gate just one product, not my whole store?

Yes - that's exactly how it's designed. You pick which products to lock. Everything else on your store stays visible as normal.

What happens when someone comes back to the store?

They won't see the email gate again. Their browser remembers them using a local token, so returning visitors see the product right away with an "Exclusively for you" tag.

What's actually included in the free plan?

The free plan is permanent - not a trial. You get unlimited locked products and up to 50 email captures lifetime. It's enough to test the concept on a small store before committing to a paid plan.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. You control all the data. A full privacy policy is included, and no data is shared with third parties.
