# A visitor browses the public store offering

## Story

The visitor opens the store without authentication and receives the public assortment. They inspect a product page with Standard and selected public audience prices. A sign-in notice explains that their own qualification may change the result. Requests for draft or excluded products fail the public-sale checks. Direct-page access to an unlisted item follows its separate visibility treatment.
