So as I said at the end of the last lecture, now it's time to get back to building a fantastic store,

00:05.270 --> 00:06.920
a fantastic business.

00:06.920 --> 00:11.990
And just before we really dive into the detail, I want to take this lecture, the last lecture in this

00:11.990 --> 00:16.190
section, to make sure that your store is available to a global audience.

00:16.190 --> 00:19.580
Now, you might be thinking, well, hang on a second when I type in my domain name.

00:19.580 --> 00:23.240
So my case Best bargains.com, my site shows.

00:23.240 --> 00:24.950
So what is there left to do?

00:24.950 --> 00:29.480
Well, in fact at the moment you are the only person that can view your store.

00:29.480 --> 00:36.110
And if you're in any doubt about that, let me go over to a different browser and type in Best bargains.com.

00:36.470 --> 00:40.730
Okay, so here I am on a different browser and I'm going to put in my domain name.

00:40.730 --> 00:45.830
And now instead of my store showing up with that fantastic image, which is what you would expect,

00:45.830 --> 00:47.870
it says this opening soon.

00:47.870 --> 00:52.250
And at the moment that's what everybody in the world is going to see except you.

00:52.250 --> 00:56.060
Now, the reason for this is because your store is password protected.

00:56.060 --> 01:01.550
And so in order to make our store available to a global audience, all we need to do is to remove the

01:01.550 --> 01:06.590
password protection and to show you how to do that, let me first head back to the Shopify Admin.

01:07.480 --> 01:11.830
Click on Online Store and then select preferences.

01:11.830 --> 01:17.980
So a brand new menu item and you can see it clearly says here your online store is password protected.

01:17.980 --> 01:20.620
Now I can remove the password by clicking on this button.

01:20.620 --> 01:26.260
But if I scroll down a bit, I can show you actually where it is should you want to reapply the password.

01:26.260 --> 01:27.220
So here we go.

01:27.220 --> 01:28.690
Password protection.

01:28.690 --> 01:32.050
And it says here restrict access to visitors with the password.

01:32.050 --> 01:37.750
So all I need to do is to uncheck this box and then click on save.

01:37.750 --> 01:41.980
And when the page refreshes it says online store is open to everyone.

01:41.980 --> 01:49.090
And just to check that is the case, let's go back to the other browser and simply refresh the page.

01:49.090 --> 01:52.210
And this time my store loads as I would expect.

01:52.210 --> 01:57.820
And that means that my store, my business, is now open to a global audience.
