<p><strong>The original WooCommerce catalog and pricing visibility tool.</strong></p>
<p>Not every store should show everything to everyone.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Control product, price, and purchasing visibility</h2>
<p>Decide exactly what different visitors can access throughout your store:</p>
<ul>
<li>Show or hide <strong>products</strong></li>
<li>Show or hide <strong>prices</strong></li>
<li>Enable or disable <strong>purchasing</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>You can run a fully public store, a private catalog, or a hybrid experience from the same WooCommerce installation.</p>
<h2>Flexible visibility rules</h2>
<p>Configure visibility based on the audience you want to reach:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>User roles</strong></li>
<li><strong>Specific users</strong></li>
<li><strong>User attributes and capabilities</strong></li>
<li><strong>Logged-in vs guest visitors</strong></li>
<li><strong>GeoLocation rules</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This allows you to create different shopping and browsing experiences for different customers without duplicating products or managing multiple stores.</p>
<h2>Common use cases</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wholesale / B2B stores</strong><br />
Only approved customers can view pricing or place orders.</li>
<li><strong>MAP pricing compliance</strong><br />
Hide prices publicly while still allowing approved or logged-in customers to access them.</li>
<li><strong>Private catalogs</strong><br />
Restrict products or categories so that only certain users or roles can see them.</li>
<li><strong>Geo-targeted visibility</strong><br />
Show or hide products, prices, or purchasing options based on customer location.</li>
<li><strong>Catalog mode / pre-launch stores</strong><br />
Display products without enabling cart and checkout functionality.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Key features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hide <strong>products</strong>, <strong>prices</strong>, or <strong>Add to Cart</strong> 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>
<li>Works with your existing WooCommerce products and store setup</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>

Catalog Visibility Options

<p>Control who sees prices—and who can buy—while keeping WooCommerce flexible for any business model. Hide prices and control purchasing options based on users, roles, and locations.</p>
