shopify password page live while ads running
Password pages still linked from ads are pure wasted spend. Confirm the live destination isn’t gated after every theme publish.
The actual problem
Store password page (or markets geo-block) is on while Meta/Google ads still spend — clicks hit a wall.
Do this
- Hit ad landing URLs in incognito from a non-office IP.
- Turn password off or exclude geoblocked markets from ads.
- Add a daily ‘ads on → storefront reachable’ check.
- Pause campaigns until the live URL returns the intended PDP.
