Description
WooCommerce Private Store is a WordPress plugin designed to keep your WooCommerce shop private and hidden from public view. Instead of letting visitors browse products openly, it restricts access behind a password-protected login. This helps you control who can see your catalog, shop pages, and storefront experience while you prepare content or limit access for specific audiences.
Built specifically for WooCommerce, the plugin integrates with your existing setup and works alongside your theme and other WooCommerce components. Once users authenticate, they can access the private storefront as usual, keeping your workflow smooth in Elementor-powered pages or standard WordPress layouts.
