<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.

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.
