How to Gatekeep a Tour with Access Codes

Last updated: August 2026

What are access codes?

Access codes are like passwords. They are a series of letters, numbers, and/or special characters that allow access to online content, like your Tourient tours.

Once a code is successfully entered, it will not need to be entered again.

How to add tour access codes in Tourient

  1. Open the tour page that you want to add gatekeeping to

  4. Click the toggle to Gatekeep Tour. Two sub-items appear: access codes and access code help text

Access codes can be shared via emails, text messages (with consent), or onsite signage or receipts. They can be used to facilitate selling tours via any point of sale (POS) system your organization already uses.
