Shopware 6 Dynamic Access Defined
The Dynamic Access extension is available in Shopware starting from its version 6.4.6.0. As you’ve probably guessed already, the flexibility of Dynamic Access is based on rules. You should leverage it in cooperation with the Rule Builder to hide certain elements of your e-commerce website.
Let’s assume your online store is dedicated to cultural exchange offers products specific to the EU, Australia, and the US. Accordingly, when customers come from one of these three regions, you should provide specific categories and products.
For instance, we would like to provide customers from the EU with the items from the other two countries, but not the items associated with their region. The restrictions should also affect logged-in customers from the US and Australia.
Shopware 6 Dynamic Access lets you implement this strategy. Let’s see how it works.
How To Configure Dynamic Access in Shopware 6
Below, we explore two ways to configure Dynamic Access in Shopware 6. The first approach incorporates region-based configuration. The second one introduces other parameters of more precise content display.
Region-based configuration
You start your routine associated with Dynamic Access in your Shopware 6 admin under Settings -> Rule Builder. Since we work with the three regions, you need to create the following three rules:
- Customers from the EU;
- Customers from Australia;
- Customers from the US.
Create a condition that identifies a customer according to the country of origin within each rule. It should look as follows:
Billing country > Is one of + the countries of the corresponding rule.
For the Customers from the EU rule, you need to add all the EU countries.
Create the same rules for the remaining two regions.
After that, you should proceed to Catalogues -> Categories and create the following three categories:
- Products from the EU
- Products from Australia
- Product from the US
Next, you need to configure these new categories. Go to the General tab of each category, find the Dynamic Access section, and add the corresponding rules that you’ve previously created in the Rule Builder. You can determine which customers should have access to this category by selecting Customers from Australia and Customers from US rules here.
As a result of these manipulations, the categories are now displayed according to the billing address of the logged-in customer. As for customers who are not logged in, they don’t see the newly created categories.
It is also possible to restrict the display of the products associated with the new categories among search results. You need to assign the Dynamic Access rules to the corresponding items under Catalogues -> Products. Open the product you want to hide from search and select the corresponding rules under its General tab. The Dynamic Access configuration is available in the Visibility & Structure section.
So, these steps are enough for displaying products and categories based on the billing country.
Other Dynamic Access rules
In addition to the region-based configuration, you can also leverage other parameters to display categories and products. For instance, only customers who have already placed x orders or belong to a certain customer group can see the category/product.
So, let’s return to the Rule Builder to create another rule. Let’s assume that the number of orders is the necessary criterium. The condition then looks as follows:
Count of orders > Is greater than/equal to > 100.
After that, it is necessary to assign the new rule to any category or product, as described above. Consequently, your frontend element will be displayed to customers who have already placed at least 100 orders.
As you can see, the Shopware 6 Dynamic Access extension provides the ability to show and hide a wide variety of content with the help of the Rule Builder. The more rules you create, the more precise your particular business scenarios become.
