WooCommerce Private Store Plugin — Lock Your Store Behind a Secure Login
WooCommerce Private Store is a powerful WordPress plugin that lets you password‑protect your entire site or selectively restrict WooCommerce pages, products, categories, and CMS pages. Only logged‑in, approved users can view private content—ideal for B2B stores, member‑only catalogs, or pre‑launch sites
By default, Google bots can still crawl and index your public pages, preserving your search rankings. If desired, you can also block crawlers from private sections, giving you full control over your site’s visibility.

Looking for a way to restrict access to your WooCommerce store or specific products? Whether you’re running a wholesale store, a B2B site, or a membership-based catalog, the WooCommerce Private Store Plugin empowers you to lock down your content and make it accessible only to logged-in users. Easily approve registrations, customize login forms, and fine-tune access — all without touching a line of code.
