<h2>Provide Product Documents, such as Assembly Instructions or Videos, to Customers Before Purchase</h2>
Everyone wants to sell more, and one proven way to make it happen is to reduce barriers to purchase. For many customers, the more information they have for a product up-front, the fewer excuses they have to avoid buying. Giving customers access to product documentation can help reduce barriers to purchase, or just give you a slick way to display product information to customers. Product Documents can display documentation below the product short description, in the sidebar using our widget, or anywhere you can use shortcodes!

<h3>How can I use Product Documents?</h3>
Want to sell an ebook? Many times, offering sample chapters can be a helpful way to engage readers and encourage them to buy (why else would Amazon gives away chapters for the Kindle edition of books for free?). You can now list sample chapters, sample images, and more in a sophisticated front-end display with virtually no effort.
You can give customers technical specifications or assembly instructions for your products one click by adding documents to your products. Maybe you spent tons of money printing user manuals that many customers end up losing or throwing away? Now you can go completely paperless! How about including a card when shipping products that directs users to your site, where you can feature user manuals and warranties for products without worrying about rising printing costs again? Centralize all of your documents to save on printing costs, reduce barriers to purchase, and help make them easy to find for customers.
Do you link to manufacturers specs or post how-to videos on YouTube? You can link product documents to a URL to get customers the information they need!

<h3>Super-Easy User Interface</h3>
Adding new menus, tabs, and files is simple from the product page. Under Product Data, you can add as many files or URLs and as many menu tabs/section as you need to so customers have all of the information they need to make a purchase. Imagine having installation instructions, links to helpful videos, technical specifications, and warranty information all in one, easy-to-use menu!

<h3>Use shortcodes to embed Product Documents menus anywhere!</h3>
You can use the advanced shortcode to embed the Product Documents menu for the defined product on a page of your choosing. How do these shortcodes help you? First, if you have multiple products sharing the same product documents, you can simply copy/paste this shortcode onto every product page that will use those documents. Or, if you want to display the product documents in a blog post, or on a separate page of your website, you can use this shortcode to reference the product documents for the product you need.
The basic shortcode will embed the documentation menu anywhere you put the shortcode on the corresponding product page. We recommend using the <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-tab-manager/">WooCommerce Tab Manager</a> to put documentation in a custom product tab:
<figure id="attachment_156906" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156906" style="width: 530px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-tab-manager-example-frontend.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-156906" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-tab-manager-example-frontend-530x550.png" alt="WooCommerce product documents tab manager" width="530" height="550" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-156906" class="wp-caption-text">What your shortcode will look like on the frontend</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Use Widgets to Diplay Documentation on Product Pages</h3>
The Product Documents widget will allow you to put the product documentation on the corresponding product page for all products, with the menu name of your choice. This widget will respond to show the documents for the product being viewed, and can be used instead of showing documents in the short description.
<figure id="attachment_156905" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-156905" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-sidebar-widget-frontend.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-156905" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-sidebar-widget-frontend.png" alt="WooCommerce product documents widget" width="550" height="267" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-156905" class="wp-caption-text">Displaying your Product Documents in the sidebar</figcaption></figure>
The Product Documents extension lets you publish all documents customers need, such as installation instructions or technical specification all in one place, and can help you save on printing costs by adding these documents to your product pages. Providing more information before purchase also helps to reduce barriers to purchase: you can reference outside URLs or post links to helpful videos or reviews, and help make documents easy to find for customers so they have all of the information needed to purchase.

<h2>Restrict Purchases by User Role, Specific Customers, and Quantity Rules</h2>
 
Sometimes you need to restrict certain products for user roles. This plugin makes it easy. 
Once installed, you’ll find a new “Purchase Restriction” tab under WooCommerce settings. From there, you can create unlimited rules to control product visibility and purchase access based on
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400">User roles (like wholesale customers, members, or logged-in users)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Specific selected user role </li>
<li>Specific selected individual user</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Product categories or types</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"> minimum product order quantity rules</li>
</ul>
If a user doesn’t meet the conditions, they won’t see the Add to Cart button, price, or even the product itself (based on your settings). You can also set custom messages for restricted users.
Perfect for B2B stores, membership-based shops, and anyone who wants more control over who buys what.
Purchase Restriction by User Role 
with woocommerce restricted products. You can easily manage purchase access for customers, administrators, authors, and other user roles through a simple interface that lets you activate, edit, or delete rules as needed. 

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734005242450" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/screenshot-nexolistech.com-2025.04.30-20_13_411.png?w=896" alt="Restrict Product Purchase Rules" width="896" height="454" />
<h2>Conditional Purchase Rules</h2>
With the WooCommerce Restriction Rules plugin, you have full control over who can buy what in your store. Set minimum purchase quantities for specific products or categories and define which user roles or specific individual users are allowed to access these products. You can easily manage which users can purchase certain items and enforce specific quantity requirements for them.
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-18734006112181" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Easily-create-conditional-purchase-rules-for-products-and-categories.-Select-whether-the-rule-applies-to-specific-user-roles-or-individual-users-and-set-minimum-quantity-requirements.png?w=980" alt="Easily create conditional purchase rules for products and categories. Select whether the rule applies to specific user roles or individual users, and set minimum quantity requirements." width="980" height="460" />
Purchase Access Control 
Non selected users lose the ability to buy restricted products because the Add to Cart directive and quantity tool disappear while showing the “You are not allowed to purchase this product” message.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734005242453" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/screenshot-nexolistech.com-2025.04.30-20_17_49.png?w=896" alt="Purchase Access Control" width="896" height="454" />
Minimum product order quantities
This plugin allows If a user tries to purchase less than the minimum quantity set by the store admin, an error message will appear directly on the product page. This ensures that customers meet the required quantity before they can add the product to their cart.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734005242635" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/screenshot-nexolistech.com-2025.05.01-01_00_37.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="454" />
Cart and Checkout Quantity Validation 
You can set custom messages to show on the cart and checkout page for customers who buy less than the quantity you set.
