Does WooCommerce Allow User Registration?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:54 pm

Yes, WooCommerce allows user registration. By default, anyone can register an account on your WooCommerce store. Once an account is created, the user will be able to log in and access their account details, including order history and shipping information.

You can also choose to restrict registration to certain user roles, such as customers or subscribers. To do this, you’ll need to install the WooCommerce Memberships plugin. This plugin lets you create members-only areas of your site and restrict content to members only.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that WooCommerce does not allow user registration by default. However, there are plugins available that will allow you to add this functionality to your site.

If you want to allow guest checkout (meaning users don’t need to create an account to purchase from your store), you can enable this in the WooCommerce settings. Guest checkout is disabled by default.

So in short, yes – WooCommerce allows user registration by default, but you can also choose to disable it or restrict it to certain user roles.
