<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.

<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.

Customizable Error Messages 
You can use the Restrict Product Purchases plugin to modify all warning messages that appear on product and cart pages.

Restrict Product Purchases

Restrict Product Purchase for WooCommerce lets you limit product access by user role or membership plan. Only users with specific access can view or purchase restricted products.

Members is a roles and capabilities based WordPress membership plugin. It gives your users the ultimate member experience by giving you powerful tools to add roles and capabilities and assign them to your users.
Members allows you to set permissions to restrict content on your site by providing a simple user interface (UI) for WordPress’ powerful roles and capabilities system, which has traditionally only been available to developers who know how to code this by hand.
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Role Editor: Allows you to edit, create, and delete roles as well as capabilities for these roles.</li>
<li>Multiple User Roles: Give one, two, or even more roles to any user.</li>
<li>Explicitly Deny Capabilities: Deny specific capabilities to specific user roles.</li>
<li>Clone Roles: Build a new role by cloning an existing role.</li>
<li>Role Import / Export: Export all roles and Members settings to a JSON file, export selected roles from the roles table, and preview imported roles before choosing whether to import, skip, overwrite, or rename each one.</li>
<li>Content Permissions / Restricted Content: Protect content to determine which users (by role) have access to post content.</li>
<li>Shortcodes: Shortcodes to control who has access to content.</li>
<li>Widgets: A login form widget and users widget to show in your theme’s sidebars.</li>
<li>Private Site: You can make your site and its feed completely private if you want.</li>
<li>Administrator Rescue (Magic Link): If you lose access to the WordPress admin (e.g. after editing roles), you can request a secure, time-limited link by email to restore your Administrator role and Members capabilities—no support ticket or database access required.</li>
<li>Plugin Integration: Members is highly recommended by other WordPress developers. Many existing plugins integrate their custom roles and capabilities directly into it.</li>
</ul>

Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin

Works fine and helped me a lot. 

Of course it can be improved, I'd suggest some checkbox to choose all options with one click. 

Cheers, 
keep the great job.

Great plugin


Easy to configure, simple to use, does the job it's supposed to do. Thank you!


Works great!

The best WordPress Plugin to manage user roles

Easy to Use

Excellent plugin


This is exactly what I needed! Works great!



This is the easiest way to add capabilities to existing roles but beware. If you start experimenting with adding a lot of capabilities to a role and forget which capabilities you added, there is no easy way (at least that I have found) for reverting the capabilities back to the way you found them. Even disabling the plugin or uninstalling it will not do the trick. A Revert button would be an awesome addition!



Also, though it says it supports multisite (WPMU / Network) sites, I cannot see how it works. It does not show a superadmin user. Nothing I have tried in terms of removing permissions does anything in the administrator role, which I assume is not superadministrator. There is no documentation on this so I am looking for another solution on multisite.


Really Awesome, but beware
