WooCommerce Private Store GPL Overview
Force your store visitors to log in/register in order to access your online shop. Block access to complete store or selective products, categories, and CMS pages. B2B solution for your store to avoid unnecessary people from viewing your catalog unless they are logged in. Option to manually or auto-approve new user registrations. The manual approval option will allow you to review and approve new user registration before they can log in and see the private content.
WooCommerce Private Store Plugin uses your default login/registration forms. You can display those forms in an attractive theme design by Addify or you can simply redirect users to your default customer account page from where they can log in or register a new account. Instead of showing a login/signup form, you can redirect users to a link as well.
