The Products Visibility by User Roles extension gives you complete control over who can view specific products and categories on your WooCommerce store. You can easily hide products and categories from selected user roles, including guest users, and choose whether to display a custom error message or redirect visitors who attempt to access restricted content.
In addition to the products, the plugin also enables you to hide or show the “Add to Cart” button and product price based on user roles. You can select specific products or categories and hide/show the add to cart button or price for specified user roles. Similarly, you can also control the visibility of payment methods based on user roels. This ensures that your store runs smoothly depending on demand and product availability.
