FreeRestrict & gate

Your best customers deserve automatic perks. The Lifetime Purchase Amount condition gates content or pricing once a customer’s total spend crosses a threshold (with operators like ≥), so a VIP area unlocks at $500 without manual tagging. This recipe builds spend-based VIP access.

What you get
  • VIP content/perks unlock at a spend threshold.
  • No manual tagging — based on real lifetime spend.
  • Use any operator (≥, >, =, <, ≤).
  • Combine with plan or role conditions.
