WooCommerce Protected Categories: Full control over access to your products
Many online store owners need to create private areas for wholesalers, VIP customers or members-only sections. Managing these accesses manually is complex and consumes valuable time that could be spent on growing your business.
Why WooCommerce Protected Categories is the ideal solution
This plugin allows you to create private categories in your WooCommerce store in a simple and intuitive way. You can hide entire categories, including their subcategories and products, and make them accessible only by password, specific user roles or individual accounts. It's perfect for photographers selling private galleries, B2B wholesalers, schools offering exclusive products for students, or any business that needs to segment their catalog by customer type.
Key functionalities
- Protection at category level: Restrict access to specific categories along with all their products and subcategories automatically.
- Multiple access methods: Use passwords, user roles or individual accounts to unlock protected categories according to your needs.
- Customized access pages: Each customer can access his private area through a dedicated and personalized login page.
- Intelligent concealment: Protected categories remain hidden in menus and widgets until the user is successfully authenticated.
