Simply Forms provides three ways to use Sign-in Prompt, depending on your use case.
Option 1: Create a Dedicated Sign-in Prompt Widget
This method allows you to create a standalone sign-in widget that can be displayed anywhere on your storefront as an App Block supported by Online Store 2.0 theme.
Typical Use Cases
VIP Club Application Wholesale Account Application Members-Only Forms Customer Portal Pages B2B Registration Forms
How It Works
Create a form that contains:
- A Sign-in Prompt element
- Optional static elements like headings, labels, images, links, etc.
- No input fields
App Block Settings in Theme Editor
| Setting | Value |
| Submit Button Alignment | Invisible |
| Visibility → Customer Visibility | Only visible to logged-out visitors |
Since the Submit button is hidden and there are no input fields, the form becomes a sign-in prompt widget only.
Example
