Restrict/Allow cms pages by rule

About the Extension

Description

Extend the Shopping Experiences with dynamic content: This plugin allows individual CMS blocks to be automatically shown or hidden based on rules from the Rule Builder. This enables you to create flexible layouts that automatically adapt depending on customer group, date, context, or campaigns – without maintaining multiple layouts.

A rule from the Rule Builder can be assigned to each CMS block. Once a rule is configured, the corresponding block will only be displayed in the storefront if the rule conditions are met. If the condition is not met, the block will automatically be hidden.

This allows different content variations within a single Shopping Experience – depending on customer groups, time periods, sales channels, cart conditions, or other Rule Builder criteria.

The plugin integrates seamlessly into the existing Shopping Experiences and works with category layouts, product layouts, landing pages, and content pages.

Typical Use Cases

• Customer group specific content
  Display different banners, texts, or content for specific customer groups such as B2B or B2C.
  For example, business customers can see additional information, pricing, or services.
• Time-controlled campaigns and seasonal content
  Automatically display content during specific time periods such as Christmas campaigns, sales, or seasonal promotions.
  No manual switching or duplication of Shopping Experiences is required.
• Dynamic product layouts
  Use a single product layout and control content depending on campaigns or target groups.
  For example, additional banners or cross-selling blocks can be displayed only for certain rules.
• Login-based content
  Show or hide content depending on whether a customer is logged in.
  Ideal for exclusive content or customer-specific information.
• Sales channel specific content
  Control content individually per sales channel or language shop.
