<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
Ajax-Enabled, Enhanced Layered Navigation is built for stores with big or complex catalogs where customers need powerful filters to find the right product fast. Instead of making shoppers click through endless pages, it uses AJAX to instantly update results when filters change, creating a smooth, modern shopping experience.
With support for color swatches, size selectors, and checkboxes, it turns attributes into intuitive filters that reduce friction and speed up the path to purchase.
Here are some examples of who benefits most:
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>Fashion & apparel stores — Let shoppers filter by size, color, and style without reloading the page.</li>
<li>Electronics retailers — Help customers drill down by brand, specs, or features in large catalogs.</li>

<li>Sporting goods & equipment stores — Quickly sort products by type, size, or use case.</li>
<li>Any store with hundreds of SKUs — Make large product catalogs easy to navigate and shop.</li>

The original WooCommerce catalog and pricing visibility tool.
Not every store should show everything to everyone.
Whether you’re selling wholesale, managing restricted pricing, complying with MAP policies, or preparing a catalog before launch, you may need more control over what customers can see and do. Catalog Visibility Options gives you that control while continuing to use WooCommerce and your existing products.
<h2>Control product, price, and purchasing visibility</h2>
Decide exactly what different visitors can access throughout your store:
<ul>
<li>Show or hide products</li>
<li>Show or hide prices</li>
<li>Enable or disable purchasing</li>
</ul>
You can run a fully public store, a private catalog, or a hybrid experience from the same WooCommerce installation.
<h2>Flexible visibility rules</h2>
Configure visibility based on the audience you want to reach:
<ul>
<li>User roles</li>
<li>Specific users</li>
<li>User attributes and capabilities</li>
<li>Logged-in vs guest visitors</li>
<li>GeoLocation rules</li>
</ul>
This allows you to create different shopping and browsing experiences for different customers without duplicating products or managing multiple stores.
<h2>Common use cases</h2>
<ul>
<li>Wholesale / B2B stores 
Only approved customers can view pricing or place orders.</li>
<li>MAP pricing compliance 
Hide prices publicly while still allowing approved or logged-in customers to access them.</li>
<li>Private catalogs 
Restrict products or categories so that only certain users or roles can see them.</li>
<li>Geo-targeted visibility 
Show or hide products, prices, or purchasing options based on customer location.</li>
<li>Catalog mode / pre-launch stores 
Display products without enabling cart and checkout functionality.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Key features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hide products, prices, or Add to Cart functionality</li>
<li>Show pricing only to specific users or user roles</li>
<li>Restrict entire catalogs or selected products to authenticated users</li>
<li>Disable cart and checkout functionality when needed</li>
<li>Replace prices or purchase actions with custom content or messaging</li>
<li>Configure GeoLocation-based visibility rules</li>

</ul>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<ul>
<li>Control who sees your products</li>
<li>Control who sees your prices</li>
<li>Control who can purchase</li>
<li>Apply rules by user, role, attributes, or location</li>
</ul>
