What Is a Private Product WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:49 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that allows you to sell products and services online. A private product is a product that is only visible to logged-in users.

This means that only people who are logged in to your WooCommerce site can see the private product. Private products are useful for selling products that are only available to certain people, such as members-only products or products that are only available for purchase by certain groups of people.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about setting up a WooCommerce store to sell private products, there are a few things you should know. First, private products are only visible to logged-in users. This means that if someone is not logged in, they will not be able to see or purchase your private products. Second, private products can only be purchased by users with the appropriate permissions. So if you want to sell private products, make sure you set up your user roles and permissions correctly. Lastly, private products can be a great way to sell exclusive or limited-edition items, but make sure you clearly communicate this to your customers so they know what they are buying.

When setting up a private product in WooCommerce, you can choose who can see the product by selecting the “Private” visibility option from the Product Data section. By default, private products are only visible to administrators and shop managers, but you can also choose to make them visible to other user roles, such as customers and subscribers. You can also choose to make a private product visible to specific users by adding their user IDs to the “Private Users” field.

Private products are useful for sellling products that are only available to certain people, such as members-only products or products that are only available for purchase by certain groups of people. By setting up a private product in WooCommerce, you can choose who can see the product by selecting the “Private” visibility option from the Product Data section. This allows you to control who has access to your private products, ensuring that only the people you want to see them can do so.
