# 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.
NOTE: When a non-member tries to access locked collections, a pop up message will appear letting them know they don't have access. They are then redirected to another page (which is customizable).
1. In the Shopify dashboard, on the left hand side menu, click on Themes
2. On the right hand side, click on the Customize button next to your theme.
3. From the drop down list at the top, select Collections.
4. Then select Default collection.
5. In the left hand section under Template, click on Add section.
6. Click on Apps and then click on the Memberply Exclusive Product Access component.
7. Customize the Memberply Exclusive Product Access component to your needs.
8. Click Save in the top right corner.
