Description

User Exclusive Products lets you restrict any WooCommerce product to one or multiple users.

If a product is exclusive:
– Only selected users (and administrators) can see it.
– Unauthorized visitors cannot see the product in shop, category, tags, search or AJAX live search.
– Direct access to the product URL redirects to the shop page.
– Fully compatible with modern search engines (including FiboSearch).

Perfect for:
– B2B stores
– VIP customer access
– Private product offers
– Client-specific catalogs
– Wholesale deals

🔒 Key Features

  • Restrict product visibility to specific users only
  • Admins are always allowed (cannot be restricted)
  • Product completely hidden from:
    • Shop
    • Category pages
    • Product tags
    • Search results
    • AJAX / live search
    • REST API product queries
  • Redirect unauthorized users who manually try to access the product URL
  • Lightweight & fast (no bloat)
  • No role management required
  • Simple multiselect user selector (WooCommerce-style)

🧩 Compatibility

This plugin is built with standard WooCommerce filters, making it compatible with most themes.

Tested and working with:
– Botiga / Botiga Pro (AJAX search compatible)
– Storefront
– Astra (front-end compatibility may vary)
– FiboSearch (fully supported)

If you use a theme or plugin with custom product queries, it should still work normally as long as they respect WordPress or WooCommerce APIs.
