H6 Private Store for WooCommerce

Skildring

H6 Private Store for WooCommerce gives you simple, precise control over who can access your private WooCommerce store.

Whether you’re running a WooCommerce wholesale store, a trade-only shop, a members-only WooCommerce store, a B2B WooCommerce login-only store, or a private WooCommerce catalogue, you can quickly lock down your WooCommerce content without adding unnecessary complexity.

Use it to password protect a WooCommerce shop, hide WooCommerce products from guests, or keep a pre-launch catalogue private until you are ready.

Perfect for:

  • Wholesale and trade-only stores
  • B2B customer portals and login-only catalogues
  • Private product catalogues
  • Members-only WooCommerce stores
  • Pre-launch or invite-only shops

Key Features

Create a private WooCommerce store

Require visitors to log in before accessing your shop, products, or entire site.

Flexible restriction modes

  • Entire website
  • WooCommerce only
  • Specific products or pages

Flexible access control

  • Require login
  • Or allow access with a shared password

Control how visitors are handled

  • Redirect to login
  • Or display a custom access message

Control exactly what’s private

  • Shop page
  • Product pages
  • Categories
  • Cart and checkout

Public exceptions

Allow selected content to remain visible while everything else is private.

Password session control

Choose how long visitors stay unlocked after entering the shared password.

SEO-friendly

Prevent restricted content from being indexed by search engines.

Quick setup and protection overview

Use setup presets for common private-store patterns, then check the protection overview to see what visitors need access for.

REST and block hardening

Optionally block unauthorised catalogue REST requests to reduce product exposure through modern storefront and block endpoints.

Compatibility Notes

H6 Private Store is designed for classic WooCommerce shop, product, cart, checkout, and account pages.

The optional REST and block hardening setting blocks common unauthorised WooCommerce catalogue REST and Store API requests while protection is active. It is best-effort hardening for modern storefront and block endpoints, not a full WooCommerce Blocks integration layer. Custom themes, blocks, and integrations should be tested on your store.

The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). It does not directly store or query WooCommerce order table data.

Protected areas can include the whole site, selected WooCommerce areas, or selected content. Public exception pages can stay visible in whole-site mode. Search engine handling can send noindex headers on restricted requests, but no plugin can guarantee that already-indexed URLs will disappear instantly from search engines.

Upgrade to Pro

Need more control? Upgrade to Pro.

H6 Private Store Pro adds powerful features for growing WooCommerce stores:

  • Restrict access by individual users
  • Restrict access by user roles
  • Create customer-specific catalogues
  • Add product/category access rules
  • Hide prices and add-to-cart buttons
  • Disable add-to-cart for restricted users

Ideal for B2B stores, customer-specific catalogues, and controlled pricing visibility.

Vanlege spm.

Can I create a wholesale store?

Yes. Require login to access your store.

Can I use a password instead of login?

Yes. You can enable a shared password.

How long does password access last?

You can choose the duration, from session-only to 30 days.

Can I keep selected pages public?

Yes. Whole-site mode includes public exceptions so selected pages, posts, or products can remain visible while the rest of the site is private.

Can search engines index private products?

The plugin can send noindex headers on restricted requests and hide protected products from common queries. Search engine removal is never instant or guaranteed, especially for URLs indexed before protection was enabled.

Does it work with WooCommerce Blocks?

The plugin focuses on classic WooCommerce pages and includes optional best-effort hardening for common WooCommerce REST and Store API catalogue requests. It does not currently provide a dedicated WooCommerce Blocks integration.

Can I hide prices or add-to-cart buttons?

The free plugin controls access to protected store content. Hiding prices and disabling add-to-cart for restricted users are Pro features.

How does Pro extend the free plugin?

Pro adds customer-specific catalogues, role-based visibility, product/category access rules, hidden prices until approval, restricted purchasing, diagnostics, activity logging, and licence-managed updates.

Can I restrict only certain categories or products?

Yes. The free plugin can protect selected products and product categories. Pro adds more advanced product/category rules for specific customers and roles.
