<h2>7 Restriction Rule Types</h2>
<div style="background: #fafafa;border-radius: 10px;padding: 4px 24px;margin: 24px 0">
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">1. Cart Quantity</h4>
<p>Restrict checkout when cart item count is greater than, less than, or equal to a defined number. Perfect for minimum order quantities or wholesale-only thresholds.</p>
<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>
<h4 style="color: #6108ce">7. Purchase History</h4>
<p>Restrict based on order count, total spent, or whether the customer has purchased before. Allow only repeat buyers, block new customers from restricted products, or gate VIP access after X orders.</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>

Restrict Checkout

<p>Control who can complete <strong>WooCommerce checkout</strong> with rule-based restrictions. Restrict checkout by cart quantity, cart total, products, categories, user roles, purchase history, or region (country, state, ZIP). Display custom messages, redirects, or pop-ups to guide restricted users. Perfect for B2B wholesale stores, geo-restricted shipping, VIP-only products, and stores enforcing minimum order amounts.</p>

<p class="p1">Take full control of your payment gateway <b>titles</b> and <b>descriptions</b> to create a smoother, clearer, and more trustworthy checkout experience.</p>
<p class="p1">A successful online store isn’t just about selling products — it’s about creating a <b>seamless buying journey</b>.</p>
<p class="p1">And the most critical step of that journey? <b>Checkout</b>.</p>
<p class="p1">Default payment method names and descriptions can sometimes be <b>technical, unclear, or too generic</b>, which often leads to customer confusion. A small misunderstanding at checkout can be the difference between a <b>completed purchase</b> and an <b>abandoned cart</b>.</p>
<p class="p3">With <b>Rename Payment Methods for WooCommerce</b>, you can <b>customize both payment method titles and their descriptions</b> — giving your customers a <b>clearer, friendlier, and more transparent experience</b>.</p>

<h2>Why this extension is essential</h2>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Before:</b></span> “Direct Bank Transfer”</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>After:</b></span> “Bank Transfer — Send your payment securely using online banking”</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>Before:</b></span> “Cash on Delivery”</p>
