Overview
A store that serves different kinds of customers often needs different checkout rules. Wholesale buyers may need one set of shipping services, retail shoppers another, and members may get payment options that guests should not see. Showing everyone every method adds confusion at the moment a customer is ready to pay.
WooCommerce Role Based Methods handles this through a simple backend interface that sits with your WooCommerce settings. You choose which payment gateways and shipping methods each user role can use, and no coding is needed. It works with the default WordPress roles and with custom roles you create, which suits B2B shops, membership sites and stores that sell to resellers and the public from one platform.
Features
- Role-based payment gateways: Restrict payment methods to specific WordPress user roles, so customers see only the gateways that apply to them and checkout stays clear.
- Role-based shipping methods: Assign different shipping options to each user role, which allows distinct rates or services for customer groups such as wholesale and retail buyers.
- Guest checkout customization: Set which shipping and payment methods are shown to visitors who are not logged in, separately from your registered customers.
- Custom user role support: Work with any custom roles you have created as well as the default ones, which fits membership and reseller sites with more complex structures.
- No-code backend interface: Manage role-based restrictions from a simple screen integrated with WooCommerce settings, without editing any code.
- Works with WooCommerce systems: The plugin ties into WordPress user roles and the native WooCommerce checkout, so you can build tailored checkout flows inside your existing store.
- English language support: Designed for stores in different regions, with support for English (UK) and English (US) to help localize the checkout experience.
Best for
- B2B stores serving wholesale and retail buyers
- Membership sites with member-only checkout options
- WooCommerce shops that treat guests differently
