WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform for WordPress. If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you may want to password protect it to keep your products and customers safe. In this article, we’ll show you how to password protect WooCommerce.

Step 1: Log into your WordPress site and go to the WooCommerce settings page. Then, click on the Advanced tab.

Step 2: On the Advanced tab, click on the Page Settings option.

Step 3: In the Page Settings section, find the Checkout Page drop-down. By default, it should be set to “Your Currently Selected Page”.

However, if you’ve changed it before, select the correct page from the drop-down.

Step 4: Once you’ve selected the correct checkout page, scroll down to the “Password Protected” section and check the box next to “Enable Password Protection”.

In conclusion, password protecting your WooCommerce store is a good way to keep your products and customers safe. Follow the steps above to password protect WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to password protect WooCommerce, it is important to understand that this is not a foolproof security measure. While a password will protect your site from casual users, it will not stop a determined hacker from gaining access to your site. In addition, if you forget your password, you will be unable to access your site. Therefore, it is important to choose a strong password and to keep it in a safe place.
