H6 Private Store for WooCommerce

H6 Private Store makes all or part of your WooCommerce shop private, then lets the right people in. It is built for shop owners, not developers: every setting is a plain question with a plain answer, and a short summary at the top tells you exactly what is private right now.

Everything is included. There is no paid version and nothing is locked.

Good for:

• Trade and wholesale shops
• B2B shops where customers log in to order
• Members-only shops
• Shops that are not open yet, or are invite-only
• Private product catalogues

Choose what is private

• Your whole website, just your shop, or only certain pages and products
• Pick which parts of the shop to protect: shop page, product pages, categories, tags, cart and checkout
• Keep chosen pages, posts or products public while everything else stays private

Let customers in

• Customers log in to their account, or enter a shared password
• Choose how long a password lasts, from one visit to 30 days
• Send visitors to your login page, or show them your own message and button
• Preview your shop exactly as a visitor sees it

Approved and trade customers

• Approve customers by account type (for example a “Trade customer” role), or one at a time
• Block individual customers, even if their account type is approved
• Give someone access until a date you choose, and it ends automatically
• Keep single products or whole categories for chosen customers

Prices and buying

• Show prices to everyone, to logged-in customers, or only to approved customers
• Make the same choice for who can add to basket and buy
• Write your own message to show in place of the price and the buy button
• Let everyone browse while keeping prices and ordering for approved customers

Search engines and privacy

• Ask search engines not to list your private pages (on by default for new installs)
• Optionally ask them not to visit private pages at all
• Stop other apps and websites reading your private products through your shop’s data feeds

Easy setup and checks

• Quick setup for trade shops, password-protected shops, coming-soon pages and selected products
• A plain-English summary of what is private right now
• Check any customer against any product: can they see it, see the price and buy it, and why
• A history of recent changes to your settings

Technical notes

• Search engine settings send noindex headers on private pages, and the strictest option also adds rules to robots.txt.
• “Block other apps” blocks logged-out requests to the WooCommerce REST API and Store API product endpoints while your shop is private.
• The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). It does not read or write order data.
• Shared-password access uses a signed cookie; the password itself is stored as a hash.
