Product Description
WooCommerce Private Store lets you control who can view and purchase from your WooCommerce shop. By restricting store access to logged-in users, specific user roles, or password holders, you can run wholesale operations, private sales, VIP shops, or members-only retail sites.
Access Control Options
- Require user login to view any store content
- Password-protect the entire store or specific categories
- Restrict by user role — show different products to wholesale vs retail
- Hide prices until login or password entry
- Hide add-to-cart buttons for unauthorized visitors
Wholesale and B2B Use Cases
For wholesale stores, the plugin can hide your entire product catalog from the public, requiring customers to log in with approved accounts. This approach works for B2B operations where pricing should remain private and ordering is restricted to verified business accounts.
Flexible Privacy Levels
You can apply different privacy levels across your store. Some categories can be public while others require authentication. Individual products can have their own visibility rules, and you can create multiple password-protected sections for different customer groups.
