Description
User Exclusive Products lets you restrict any WooCommerce product to one or multiple users.
If a product is exclusive:
– Only selected users (and administrators) can see it.
– Unauthorized visitors cannot see the product in shop, category, tags, search or AJAX live search.
– Direct access to the product URL redirects to the shop page.
– Fully compatible with modern search engines (including FiboSearch).
Perfect for:
– B2B stores
– VIP customer access
– Private product offers
– Client-specific catalogs
– Wholesale deals
🔒 Key Features
- Restrict product visibility to specific users only
- Admins are always allowed (cannot be restricted)
- Product completely hidden from:
- Shop
- Category pages
- Product tags
- Search results
- AJAX / live search
- REST API product queries
- Redirect unauthorized users who manually try to access the product URL
- Lightweight & fast (no bloat)
- No role management required
- Simple multiselect user selector (WooCommerce-style)
🧩 Compatibility
This plugin is built with standard WooCommerce filters, making it compatible with most themes.
Tested and working with:
– Botiga / Botiga Pro (AJAX search compatible)
– Storefront
– Astra (front-end compatibility may vary)
– FiboSearch (fully supported)
If you use a theme or plugin with custom product queries, it should still work normally as long as they respect WordPress or WooCommerce APIs.
