Diluted

This plugin adds a WooCommerce payment method that completes checkout without a real payment provider. Orders are saved and marked paid like a normal purchase, only the payment is fake.
<ul>
<li>Admin-only – Only users who can <code>manage_woocommerce</code> (typically administrators and shop managers) see the method at checkout. Guests and customers never see it.</li>
<li>Paid immediately – Orders complete as if payment succeeded. Stock updates, emails, and other post-payment behavior run as usual.</li>
<li>Works everywhere you check out – Shortcode/classic checkout and the Cart & Checkout blocks.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Sign in as a user with the Shop manager or Administrator role (or any role that includes <code>manage_woocommerce</code>).</li>
<li>Add products to the cart and open checkout.</li>
<li>Choose the test payment method in the checkout, the default label is Test order (fake payment) unless you changed it under the gateway settings.</li>
<li>Place the order. You are redirected to the order received (thank-you) page; the order is recorded as paid.</li>
</ol>
You can customize the Title and Description shown at checkout under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Test order (admin only).

Enable, set a user and PW via WP admin and users will be prompted via HTTP AUTH for a user/pw before being able to view the frontend.
Aim of the plugin is to protect staging sites from the prying eyes of search engine robots, and to keep out anyone who might stumble across it accidentally.
This isn’t particularly secure – password is in the database.

Password Protect Staging

So yeah - this does just what I needed, unsurprisingly seeing as I wrote it to do just what I need....
