Overview
Stores that serve different customer groups may need different checkout options for each group. WooCommerce Role Based Methods lets administrators limit available payment gateways and shipping methods according to a customer's WordPress role. This can suit stores serving wholesale and retail customers, B2B businesses, or membership-based sites.
Role restrictions are managed through the WooCommerce settings interface. Administrators can assign methods to default WordPress roles, custom roles, and guest customers, shaping the options shown during checkout. This gives store owners a way to organize payment and shipping choices around their customer groups.
Features
- Role-based payment methods: Restrict payment gateways by WordPress user role so customers see the payment options assigned to their group.
- Role-based shipping methods: Assign shipping methods to particular user roles, with different shipping services available for groups such as wholesale and retail customers.
- Guest checkout controls: Set which payment and shipping methods are available to guests who are not logged in.
- Custom role support: Apply method restrictions to custom WordPress user roles as well as default roles, including roles used for membership or reseller sites.
- WooCommerce settings interface: Manage role-based restrictions through an interface within WooCommerce settings, without writing code.
Best for
- B2B WooCommerce stores
- Wholesale and retail stores
