To trigger a script that clicks a "Buy Now" button on a password protected page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Understand page protection in Webflow: Webflow allows you to password protect individual pages or sections using the "Password" setting in the page settings panel. Keep in mind that this feature is only available on paid hosting plans.

  2. Add the "Buy Now" button: In the Webflow Designer, create or add a button element to your password protected page. Give it a unique class name for easy targeting.

  3. Create a custom script: In the Webflow Designer, go to the project settings panel (cog icon on the left) and then to the "Custom Code" tab. In the "Custom Code" section, you can add your own custom JavaScript code.

  4. Write the script to trigger the click event: In the custom code section, write a script that waits for the page to fully load and then triggers a click event on the "Buy Now" button.

    ```javascript
    window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var buyNowButton = document.querySelector('.buy-now-button'); // Replace with the actual class name of your "Buy Now" button
    if (buyNowButton) {
    buyNowButton.click();
    }
    });
    ```

    Note: Replace '.buy-now-button' with the actual class name of your "Buy Now" button.

  5. Publish and test: Save your changes and publish your Webflow project. Test the script on the password protected page to see if it successfully triggers the click event on the "Buy Now" button.

This approach will allow you to trigger a script that clicks a "Buy Now" button on a password protected page in Webflow. However, keep in mind that this concept assumes a basic understanding of JavaScript, HTML, and Webflow's custom code capabilities.
