WooCommerce Catalog Visibility Options

Catalog Visibility Options is an official WooCommerce extension designed to transform your online store into a product catalog, giving you total control over who can view your catalog, your prices, and make purchases. It is the ideal solution for wholesale stores, B2B websites, projects in the launch phase, or any business that needs to restrict access to its commercial information without losing the structure of its ecommerce.

With this extension, you can disable all ecommerce functionality of your store, including the "Add to Cart" and "Buy Now" buttons, as well as the cart and checkout processes. This allows you to display your product images and descriptions while you finish configuring prices, stock, or payment gateways, or simply operate as a static catalog.

Flexibility is one of its greatest benefits. You can control product visibility at an individual level, by category, by user role, or even by the visitor's geographic location. Configuration options include:

• Enable or disable purchases for all users, only for registered users, or disable them completely.
• Show or hide prices globally, only for registered users, or based on user role.
• Customize the text of the "Add to Cart" buttons when the catalog is in restricted mode.
• Display custom messages or login forms instead of hidden prices.
• Filter visibility by geographic location, with options to require location selection or use automatic geolocation.
• Restrict product and category visibility based on specific user roles.
• Set per-product rules to determine who can view it, who can purchase it, and who can see its prices.

Configuration is simple and intuitive. From the WooCommerce admin panel, you will find a restrictions tab on each product where you can select whether access is for everyone, for specific roles, or according to the rules of the assigned category. You can also manage visibility by entire categories, which is especially useful when you have many products that share the same access rules.

If you manage a wholesale store, a private catalog for selected customers, or simply need to prepare your store before its public launch, Catalog Visibility Options gives you the granular control you need to protect your commercial information and offer the right experience to each type of visitor.
