Woocommerce Hide Products By User Role

WooCommerce Hide Products By User Role is a WordPress plugin that enables store owners to control product visibility based on customer user roles. This plugin allows you to restrict which products are displayed to different user groups, such as guests, customers, wholesale buyers, or custom roles, helping you manage product access and create role-specific shopping experiences.

Key Features

• Role-Based Product Visibility - Hide or show products based on WordPress user roles, allowing different product catalogs for different customer types.
• Multiple User Role Support - Configure visibility settings for standard roles (subscriber, customer, administrator) and custom user roles.
• Guest User Control - Specify which products are visible to non-logged-in visitors separately from registered users.
• Bulk Product Management - Apply visibility rules to multiple products at once rather than configuring each product individually.
• Product Edit Screen Integration - Access role visibility settings directly from the WooCommerce product editor for easy configuration.
• Shop Page Filtering - Products hidden by role rules do not appear in shop listings, category pages, or search results for restricted users.
• Cart and Checkout Protection - Prevents restricted users from accessing products they shouldn't see, even through direct URLs.
• Variable Product Support - Configure visibility rules for variable products and their individual variations.
• Performance Optimized - Implements efficient database queries to avoid slowing down product queries and page load times.
• WooCommerce Compatible - Works with current WooCommerce versions and standard product functionality.

Best For

This plugin is ideal for WooCommerce stores that need to segment their product catalogs by customer type, such as B2B wholesalers offering different products to wholesale and retail customers, membership sites restricting certain products to paid members, or multi-vendor stores controlling product visibility. It's also useful for stores managing seasonal products, exclusive items, or testing new products with specific user groups before wider release.
