<h2><strong>Show</strong><strong> or hide products by user role</strong></h2>
<p>WooCommerce Hide Products Visibility by User Role offers two ways to manage your catalog visibility:</p>
<h4><strong>1)  Hide Products</strong></h4>
<p>With the “Hide” feature, you can choose to hide selected products and categories from specific user roles and guests. For example, if you choose to hide product A and category B from general customers, they will remain hidden for general customers only whereas the other users will be able to view them.</p>
<h4><strong>2)  Show (Assign) Products</strong></h4>
<p>Instead of hiding, you can choose to “Show” i.e., assign products and categories from specific user roles and guests. By using this feature, you can limit the catalog visibility for any user role. No other products will be visible except the ones you have assigned them.</p>
<p>For example, If you choose to show product A and category B to wholesale customers, they will remain visible to wholesale customers only whereas all other products and categories will no longer be displayed. At the same time, by using the “global visibility” settings you can hide product A and category B from guests and all registered customers. This will make product A and category B explicit to wholesale user role only.</p>

<h2><strong>Show custom message or redirect to another link:</strong></h2>
<p>The extension comes with 2 different redirection modes that allow you to redirect users to another URL or show them a custom message.  You customize different error messages and redirection links for different user roles.</p>

<h2><strong>Global settings to hide products for guests & registered users</strong></h2>

Products Visibility by User Roles

<p>Manage catalog visibility based on user roles.</p>

<p>The Products by Attributes & Variations plugin gives you two ways to showing variations on listing pages: 1) displaying product variations as simple products, or 2) displaying product attributes on listing pages. Improve your user experience by allowing customers to find relevant variations from shop pages and add products to their cart without having to visit the product detail page.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734005635358 size-full" src="https://addify.store/adv-banners/addify-store.gif" alt="" width="900" height="141" /></p>
<h2>1.  Show variations as single products:</h2>
<p>This feature empowers you to show variations as simple products on shop, category, and other listing pages. Customers can find relevant product variations from listing pages and add products directly to their cart, and the variations are compatible with product filters and search. This makes your catalog look bigger and improves the user experience.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/WooCommerce-Show-Single-Variations-.png" width="958" height="1178" /></p>
<h3>Key settings</h3>
<ul>
<li>Display variations of all or specific items as simple products</li>
<li>Exclude any variations from showing as simple product</li>
<li>Option to hide the main product from listing pages</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Exclude specific variation & customize sorting order</strong></p>
<p>From <strong>Product Edit > Variations</strong>, you can exclude individual variations from displaying them as simple products on listing pages. You can also give a custom menu sorting order for each variation.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5710915" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Variations-Settings-2.png" alt="" width="958" height="1212" /></p>
<p><strong>Exclude entire attribute:</strong></p>
<p>You can exclude any attribute and display products by only one attribute. For example, if you have color and size as attributes, you can exclude size and display products by color only. You can exclude this from the product edit sheet on the backend.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7957711" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Exclude-Attribute.png" alt="" width="960" height="512" /></p>
<hr />
<h2>2.  Display attribute selections on listing pages</h2>
<p>This lets you add product attributes to listing pages so customers can select their desired variations and add products to their carts from a listing page. This makes shopping easier — customers will no longer need to visit individual product pages to make selections.</p>
<p>The attributes are displayed in the same format as on the product detail page. For example, if you are using color swatches or a third party plugin to show size options in a dropdown menu and are showing color options with checkboxes, the same dropdown and checkboxes will be displayed on listing pages</p>
<p>You can also utilize the toggle mode option to keep your products listing compact. Customers can click on the show/hide button to see the variations.</p>
