Who Can See Private Products in WooCommerce?

Private products in WooCommerce are only visible to those who are logged in and have the appropriate permissions. This means that if you want to sell private products, you’ll need to set up an account for each customer and give them the appropriate permissions.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Add each customer as a user to your WordPress site and give them the “Customer” role. Then, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products and check the box next to “Allow Private Products”.

2. Alternatively, you can create a separate WordPress site for your private products.

This is a good option if you want to keep your private products completely separate from your public products. To do this, simply install WooCommerce on a separate WordPress site and follow the instructions above.

PRO TIP: If you are selling private products in WooCommerce, it is important to be aware of who can see these products. By default, only registered users can see private products. However, if you change the “Catalog visibility” setting to “Public”, anyone will be able to see and purchase your private products.

Once you’ve set up your private products, you can start selling them! Just remember that only logged-in customers with the appropriate permissions will be able to see and purchase them.
