Description
Hide SKU From Customer is a lightweight plugin that lets you remove SKU display from the front end of your WooCommerce store for customers — while keeping it fully functional for admin users.
As of version 2.4, this plugin includes:
– ✅ Admin settings under WooCommerce Settings Products to toggle SKU visibility
– ✅ Optional hiding of SKUs even for admins on the front end
– ✅ A small green admin bar badge to indicate when the plugin is active
– ✅ ✅ ✅ HPOS (High Performance Order Storage) Compatibility — future-proof and Woo 8.6+ ready
Perfect for stores that use SKUs internally but don’t want to display them to customers on product pages, loops, quick view, etc.
