Role Membership Access for WooCommerce lets you restrict WooCommerce product visibility, purchasing, add-to-cart, cart, and checkout access based on WordPress user roles.
You can: 
* Restrict access using Category Allowed Roles (Products → Categories). 
* Restrict access using Product Allowed Roles with Access Mode (Products → Edit Product). 
* Prevent unauthorized users from: 
 – Viewing restricted products in the shop/catalog (theme dependent, hardened via filters) 
 – Adding restricted products to cart 
 – Purchasing restricted products 
 – Completing checkout if restricted products are in cart
The plugin provides: 
* A WooCommerce Settings tab: WooCommerce → Settings → WooRole Access 
* Per-category role restrictions 
* Per-product role restrictions with Access Mode (Inherit / Manual / Combine) 
* Multi-category conflict strategy options (Union / Intersection / Priority Category) 
* Optional redirect for unauthorized users 
* A reliable inline notice shown above product title (supports block themes)
<h3>Setup / Configuration</h3>
<h4>Step 1: Configure global plugin settings</h4>
Go to: 
WooCommerce → Settings → WooRole Access
Available settings: 
1. Restriction Message 
 – The message displayed when a user is blocked. 
2. Redirect Unauthorized Users 
 – If enabled, blocked users will be redirected to the URL below. 
3. Redirect URL 
 – Recommended: My Account page or a custom “Join Membership” page. 
4. Multi-Category Strategy 
 – Determines behavior when a product belongs to multiple restricted categories: 
 – Union (OR): allowed roles from any restricted category (recommended default) 
 – Intersection (AND): user must match all restricted categories 
 – Priority Category: use only the product’s “Primary Category” 
5. Default Primary Category (for Priority Strategy) 
 – Used as a default selection for products when Priority Strategy is enabled.
<h4>Step 2: Restrict categories (recommended first)</h4>
Go to: 
Products → Categories → Add/Edit Category
Set: 
Allowed Roles (multi-select)
Behavior: 
* If a category has Allowed Roles set, products in that category are restricted depending on their Product Access Mode.
<h4>Step 3: Restrict individual products (when needed)</h4>
Go to: 
Products → Edit Product → Product data → General
Fields: 
1. Access Mode 
 – Inherit from Categories (default) 
 – Manual Override 
 – Combine (Manual + Categories) 
2. Allowed Roles (Manual) 
 – Used only for Manual Override or Combine 
3. Primary Category (for Priority Strategy) 
 – Used only when global Multi-Category Strategy = Priority Category
<h3>How Access Mode Works</h3>
<h4>Inherit from Categories</h4>
The product uses category Allowed Roles only. 
* If no categories have restrictions, product is unrestricted.
<h4>Manual Override</h4>
The product ignores category restrictions and uses Allowed Roles (Manual) only.
<h4>Combine (Manual + Categories)</h4>
The product is accessible if the user matches either: 
* Product manual roles OR 
* Category roles
<h3>Multi-Category Strategy (Conflict Handling)</h3>
When a product belongs to multiple categories with different Allowed Roles:
1) Union (OR) 
– Allowed roles are combined from all restricted categories. 
– Prevents accidental lockouts. Recommended for most stores.
2) Intersection (AND) 
– Allowed roles are the overlap of restricted category roles. 
– Can lock products if categories disagree (use carefully).
3) Priority Category 
– Only one category drives access. 
– Select a Primary Category in product settings. 
– Optionally set a Default Primary Category globally to reduce per-product setup.
<h3>Blocking Behavior</h3>
If a user is not authorized: 
* Product may be hidden from catalog (theme dependent) 
* User cannot add to cart 
* User cannot proceed with checkout if restricted items are in the cart 
* Notice is injected above the product title (block-theme friendly) 
* Optional redirect can be enabled
<h3>Example: Restrict a Category to Subscriber Only</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Products → Categories</li>
<li>Edit the category (example: “Members Only”)</li>
<li>In Allowed Roles, select: subscriber</li>
<li>Save</li>
</ol>
All products in that category will be restricted based on their Access Mode: 
– Inherit: category restriction applies 
– Manual: product manual roles apply instead 
– Combine: both apply
<h3>Example: Restrict a Product to Editor Only</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Products → Edit Product</li>
<li>Product Data → General</li>
<li>Access Mode: Manual Override</li>
<li>Allowed Roles (Manual): editor</li>
<li>Save</li>
</ol>
Result: only users with editor role can view/purchase.

Country Based Restrictions for WooCommerce (CBR) lets you control which products customers can see and purchase based on their country. Whether you need to comply with regional regulations, limit shipping to certain destinations, or create country-specific catalogs, CBR gives you per-product control using WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation.
If a product shouldn’t be sold in a particular country — because of shipping limitations, legal requirements, licensing, or business strategy — CBR makes sure customers in that country either can’t see it or can’t buy it. No code required.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hide Restricted Products Completely — Remove products from your shop, search results, and catalog for customers in restricted countries. Products become invisible as if they don’t exist.</li>
<li>Hide from Catalog, Keep Direct Links — Remove products from shop pages and search, but still allow access via a direct URL. Useful for wholesale or private distribution.</li>
<li>Visible but Not Purchasable — Keep products visible in your shop and search results, but disable the Add to Cart button for restricted countries. Customers can browse but not buy.</li>
<li>Per-Product Include or Exclude Rules — For each product, choose whether to allow it in specific countries (include) or block it in specific countries (exclude). Flexible enough for any restriction scenario.</li>
<li>Automatic Country Detection — Uses WooCommerce Geolocation (IP-based) and the customer’s shipping address to determine their country — no manual input needed from the shopper.</li>
<li>Translation Ready — Fully translatable and compatible with multilingual stores.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Common Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Legal & Regulatory Compliance — Block products that can’t legally be sold in certain countries (alcohol, supplements, electronics, age-restricted items).</li>
<li>Shipping Limitations — Don’t sell products in countries your logistics provider can’t deliver to. Avoid failed deliveries and refund requests.</li>
<li>Regional Licensing — Restrict digital or licensed products to territories covered by your distribution agreement.</li>
<li>Country-Specific Catalogs — Show different product selections to different markets, creating a tailored shopping experience per region.</li>
<li>Reduce Chargebacks & Wrong Orders — Prevent customers from ordering products that can’t be fulfilled in their location.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How Country Detection Works</h4>
CBR determines the customer’s country in this order:
<ol>
<li>If the visitor is a logged-in customer with a shipping address on file, CBR uses that shipping country.</li>
<li>If no shipping country is set (or the visitor is a guest), CBR falls back to WooCommerce Geolocation (IP-based detection).</li>
<li>You can optionally force the plugin to always use geolocation only.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Upgrade to Country Based Restrictions PRO</h4>
Need to manage restrictions at scale? <a href="https://www.zorem.com/product/country-based-restriction-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">CBR PRO</a> adds powerful bulk tools and advanced controls:
<ul>
<li>Bulk Restrictions by Category, Tag, Attribute, or Shipping Class — Apply country rules to entire groups of products at once instead of editing each product individually.</li>
<li>Global (All Products) Restrictions — Set a single rule that applies to your entire catalog.</li>
<li>Disable Payment Methods by Country — Control which payment gateways are available based on the customer’s country.</li>
<li>Hide Product Prices for Restricted Products — Instead of hiding the product entirely, hide only the price and Add to Cart button.</li>
<li>Remove Single Product Rules in Bulk — Clean up individual product rules using bulk actions.</li>
<li>Debug Mode — Display a front-end toolbar (visible to admins only) showing the detected country, so you can test restrictions without affecting customers.</li>
<li>Country Detection Widget — Display the detected shipping country to shoppers and let them change their location while browsing.</li>
</ul>
