WooCommerce Role Based Methods is an official WooCommerce extension designed for online stores that need granular control over shipping methods and payment gateways based on each user's role in WordPress. It is intended for businesses that have outgrown basic WooCommerce settings and need to treat wholesalers, repeat customers, distributors, guests, or internal members differently, without having to create separate stores.
The extension allows administrators to individually limit the available shipping methods and payment gateways for each user role configured in WordPress. This means you can offer specific payment options to B2B customers, restrict certain shipping methods to wholesale customers, or fully customize the checkout experience for guests who are not logged in.
Its main benefits include:
The extension is especially valuable for businesses that handle wholesale and retail customers in the same store, as it allows you to differentiate the shopping experience without duplicating infrastructure. Administrators can configure which payment methods corporate customers see versus end consumers, and which shipping options are available for each group, thus optimizing the business's logistics and financial operations.
With simple installation and clear configuration from the admin panel, WooCommerce Role Based Methods becomes an essential tool for any store looking to professionalize its checkout process and offer an experience tailored to each segment of its audience.
