<p>Optimize your store checkout for digital products by eliminating the unnecessary checkout fields only when a virtual product is in the cart. Increase your store’s conversion rate by seeking only the required information during the digital products checkout.</p>
<p>With the Digital Goods Checkout extension, you can show a quick checkout button that takes customers directly to the checkout page, making the digital checkout process even faster. You can show the button on both shop and product pages, and limit its visibility to specific products and user roles.</p>

<h2>Hide specific billing fields from checkout</h2>
<p>WooCommerce by default hides shipping fields when there are only virtual products in the cart. However, for some cases this might not be enough as the customer has to fill a long list of billing fields. By using Digital Goods Checkout, you can change<strong> labels</strong>, <strong>add place holders or completely hide</strong> your billing fields from checkout. By default the WooCommerce offers following billing fields and with this extension you can choose to hide, change lablel or add place holder in of any of these fields.</p>
<ul>
<li>First name</li>
<li>Last name</li>
<li>Company</li>
<li>Address lane 1</li>
<li>Address lane 2</li>
<li>Country</li>
<li>State</li>
<li>City</li>
<li>Postal Code</li>
<li>Phone number</li>
</ul>

<h2>Hide additional notes fields:</h2>
<p>You can also hide the additional notes field for virtual products to keep your checkout page compact and concise for digital products.</p>

<h2>Quick buy button for speedy checkout:</h2>
<p>With this extension, you add a Quick Checkout Button on your specific or all virtual products to skip cart and redirect customers straight to the checkout page, making your checkout process quicker and smooth.</p>

<h2>Prevent mixing in cart:</h2>
<p>In order to streamline the checkout for digital products, you can prevent customers from adding non-virtual products along with the virtual products in the cart. When there are only virtual products in the cart, the shipping fields will not appear on the checkout page, making the checkout process faster for digital products.</p>

<h4 style="color: #6108ce">1. Cart Quantity</h4>

<h4 style="color: #6108ce">2. Cart Total</h4>
<p>Restrict based on cart subtotal or total value. Enforce minimum order amounts ($100 minimum for wholesale), maximum order caps, or specific price ranges.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">3. Products in Cart</h4>
<p>Restrict checkout when specific products are in the cart. Combine with user role rules to allow only certain customers to purchase those products.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">4. Categories in Cart</h4>
<p>Restrict by product categories. Useful for category-wide rules like “Wholesale Only” sections or restricting bulk goods to verified buyers.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">5. Region (Country, State, ZIP Code)</h4>
<p>Block checkout for customers in specific countries, states, or ZIP codes. Uses AND logic — match country AND state AND zip together for precise targeting.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">6. Customer & User Role</h4>
<p>Restrict checkout for specific WordPress user roles, individual customers, or guest users. Force registration or membership before checkout.</p>

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<div style="background: #fafafa;border-radius: 10px;padding: 4px 24px;margin: 24px 0">
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">How do region restrictions work — do they combine as AND or OR?</h4>
<p>Region rules use <strong>AND logic</strong>. If you set Country = Germany AND State = Bavaria AND ZIP = 80331, ALL three must match for the restriction to fire. This prevents accidentally blocking customers in unrelated regions when you only mean to block a specific area.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Can I create multiple restriction rules at the same time?</h4>
<p>Yes. Create unlimited rules, each with its own conditions, messages, and priority. Examples: “Wholesale EU Only” (combines country + user role), “Minimum $50 Order” (cart total), “VIP Products” (specific products + customer list).</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">What happens when multiple rules apply to the same customer?</h4>
<p>Priority handling resolves conflicts. Each rule has a priority number, and lower numbers take precedence. The highest-priority matching rule’s message is shown to the customer. This gives you deterministic behavior with no surprises.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Can I redirect restricted users instead of blocking them?</h4>
<p>Yes. Each rule supports a redirect URL. Instead of showing an error message, restricted users are sent to a registration page, contact form, info page, or any URL you choose. Much better UX than a hard block.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Does this restrict shipping methods or payment gateways?</h4>
<p>No — this plugin restricts <strong>checkout access</strong>, not individual shipping/payment options. If you need to disable specific shipping or payment methods conditionally, use WooCommerce Conditional Shipping and Payments. Restrict Checkout focuses on whether the customer can checkout at all.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Will this work with my WooCommerce theme?</h4>
<p>Yes. The plugin works with all standard WooCommerce themes including Storefront, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Kadence, Divi, and most premium themes. It hooks into core WooCommerce checkout validation rather than overriding templates.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Is this plugin compatible with HPOS and block checkout?</h4>
<p>Yes. Fully compatible with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and works seamlessly with the new block-based checkout. Tested on the latest WooCommerce versions.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Can I restrict checkout by purchase history?</h4>
<p>Yes. Configure rules based on order count, total spent, or whether the customer has previously purchased. Use cases: “Wholesale prices unlock after 3 orders,” “Limit-edition products require previous purchase,” “Block first-time buyers from high-value items.”</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Does cancelled orders count toward purchase history?</h4>
<p>No. Only completed orders count toward purchase history rules. Cancelled, refunded, and failed orders are excluded so customers aren’t penalized for abandoned or failed transactions.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">What’s your support response time?</h4>
<p>We aim to respond to all support requests within 12 hours on business days. Most queries are resolved within 24 hours. Support is included for the duration of your active subscription.</p>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">Is there a money-back guarantee?</h4>
<p>Yes. WooCommerce offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all marketplace purchases. If the plugin doesn’t work for your use case, you can request a full refund within 30 days, no questions asked.</p>
