# Restrict non-members from accessing exclusive product collections

If you have certain collections that you only want members to access, please go through the following steps to add the Memberply Exclusive Product Access component to your store theme. This will handle checking if a member has access or not.

{% hint style="info" %}
When a non-member tries to access locked collections, a popup message lets them know they do not have access. They are then redirected to another page, which you can customize.
{% endhint %}
