Overview
The plugin hides WooCommerce shop content from public view while leaving the rest of your website available to visitors. Products, categories, cart, and checkout can be restricted, making the shop suitable for businesses that sell to specific customer groups. Visitors can still browse your main site pages, so public information remains accessible alongside the private store.
Choose access through customer accounts or a password entry page. The plugin supports multiple passwords for different groups and can grant access based on user roles. It also hides WooCommerce pages from menus and sidebar widgets, and blocks search engines from indexing hidden store pages. These controls let you shape access around how your wholesale, club, or trade business serves customers.
Features
- Hide WooCommerce pages: Restrict public access to shop products, categories, cart, and checkout while keeping the rest of your website available to visitors.
- Password access: Let customers enter a password on a private login page to view the store, without requiring each visitor to use a customer account.
- Multiple passwords: Set multiple passwords for different customer groups, giving each group access without requiring separate user accounts.
- Role-based access: Grant store access to selected user roles, allowing different levels of access for customer groups such as wholesale buyers or VIP customers.
- Keep pages out of menus: Hide WooCommerce-related pages from navigation menus and sidebar widgets as part of restricting access to store content.
- Block search indexing: Prevent search engines from indexing hidden store pages, keeping private products and shop content out of search results.
Best for
