# Gating by NFT/Email/Wallet By gating a membership tier type, vendors can restrict the ability to attain membership to specified people only, allowing vendors to offer exclusive value to users. Membership eligibility can be allocated by ownership of certain NFT collections and email/NFT wallet addresses. {% hint style="info" %} **Please note that gating is an optional feature and does not need to be enabled should your application not require it.** {% endhint %} *** {% tabs %} {% tab title="Gating by NFT" %}

How NFT-gated membership types appear on membership program pages

**Step 1: Enable NFT-gating** In the target membership tier's edit panel, enable "Gated by NFT" under "Advanced Options."
