Conditional Product Page Header & Account Link Visibility
The Opportunity
A theme app that lets merchants show or hide specific header elements, such as Login/Register or account icons, only on selected templates or pages. Merchants can control visibility with rules like product page, collection page, landing page, or by tags.
"The merchant wants to hide the Login/Register link only on product pages without editing theme code manually."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a no-code rules engine to control header/menu/account element visibility by page type, template, product tag, collection, and customer login state, with live preview and theme-app-block installation.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using OS 2.0 themes who want finer control over header and navigation elements without coding.
Competitive Landscape
Theme customizer tools, simple visibility/snippet apps, page-builder apps with conditional display features
Implementation Notes
Build as a theme app extension with app blocks and a settings UI that stores visibility rules in metafields or app config. Inject conditional rendering logic for header components using template detection and customer/account state, and support theme compatibility checks for major OS 2.0 themes.
