WPC Advanced Password Protect for WooCommerce

WooCommerce has only basic password protection. Stores that run wholesale sections, private sales or members-only ranges need finer control over what visitors can see. This plugin adds rule-based protection that can cover an entire store or a chosen segment, such as categories, tags, brands, collections or attributes.

Each rule can use passwords, and in the premium version also user roles or individual users. You can add date and time conditions, set how long a visitor stays authenticated, and limit failed attempts. Rules are created, previewed, duplicated and reordered from a single screen, so larger catalogs stay manageable.

Features

• Storewide or partial protection: Lock the entire store or pick specific products, categories, tags, brands, collections and attributes, so only the right items sit behind a password.
• Passwords, roles and users: Restrict content with passwords, and with the premium version by user role or individual user account, to match the access model your store needs.
• Date and time conditions: Set when a protection applies using scheduling rules, which suits time-limited promotions or planned product launches.
• Bulk password protection: Apply password protection to several products or product listings at once, which saves time in stores with large inventories.
• Multiple passwords per rule: Give the same protected content several passwords with different activation periods, for flexible access setups.
• Expiry and attempt limits: Control how long users stay authenticated before re-entering a password, and cap failed attempts to guard against brute force attacks and password probing.
• Customizable password forms: Edit the form message, the incorrect password alert and the maximum attempts warning so the wording fits your brand.
• Forced unpurchasable status: Protected products cannot be bought by visitors without access, even when external product display plugins show them.
