If you are running a WooCommerce store, you may want to make some of your products private. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as if you are selling products that are only available to certain people or if you want to keep some products hidden from the public until they are ready to be released. Whatever your reason for wanting to make products private, WooCommerce makes it easy to do.
To make a product private in WooCommerce, first go to the product page in the back-end of your site. Under the ‘General’ tab, you will see an option called ‘Visibility’. By default, this will be set to ‘Public’, but you can change it to ‘Private’ by selecting the radio button next to that option.
To make a product private in WooCommerce, go to the product page and scroll down to the ‘Visibility’ section. Here, you can select the ‘Private’ option.
Remember, making a product private will mean that only logged-in users who have permission to view the product will be able to see it. So, if you want to make sure that only certain customers can see and purchase a private product, you will need to set up user roles and permissions first.
Once you have done that, save your changes and the product will now be private. Private products can only be accessed by people who have the direct link to the product page, so it is important to make sure that only those who need to see the product have that link. If you want to further restrict access to private products, you can also set them up so that they can only be purchased by certain user roles, such as ‘Wholesale Customers’ or ‘VIP Members’.
Making products private in WooCommerce is a great way to restrict access to certain products on your site. By setting products to private, you can make sure that only those who need to see them have access. This can be helpful if you are selling products that are only available to certain people or if you want to keep some products hidden from the public until they are ready to be released.
