<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734004473395" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Order-Analytics.png" alt="" width="980" height="306" /></p>
<h2>Customization & Visibility Options:</h2>
<h3><strong>Password form customization</strong></h3>
<p>You can personalize the details of the password input form, such as title, background, logo, text, and opacity, according to your business needs.</p>
<h3><strong>Control Google indexing:</strong></h3>
<p>If you don’t want password-protected pages to appear in search result pages, you can disable Google crawling from extension settings. Not allowing Google to crawl password-protected pages will ensure the pages are hidden from unwanted traffic, and only customers with the links and passwords will be able to access them.</p>
<h3><strong>Hide completely or keep in listings:</strong></h3>
<p>For protected items, you can choose to either completely hide password-protected pages or show them in archive pages with a ‘Password Protected’ button. You can add allowed IP addresses to bypass the password protection and directly access the page.</p>

<h2>Security for WooCommerce:</h2>
<p>Fraudsters often use VPNs and proxies to hide their identities, putting eCommerce businesses at risk. <strong data-start="102" data-end="130">Security for WooCommerce</strong> helps you detect and block high-risk transactions by identifying masked locations and restricting purchases from countries you don’t sell to. While it strengthens your store’s security, it does not protect against velocity attacks. For advanced fraud prevention, check out <a href="//woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-anti-fraud/" rel="noopener" data-start="404" data-end="431"> Anti-Fraud for Woocommerce</a>.</p>
