WPC Advanced Password Protect for WooCommerce GPL v1.1.1

WPC Advanced Password Protect for WooCommerce GPL is a powerful security and access control plugin designed to provide complete protection for your online store. Unlike WooCommerce’s basic password protection feature, this advanced solution allows you to restrict access to your entire store or specific products, categories, tags, brands, collections, product types, attributes, shipping classes, and more. It is ideal for membership-based stores, wholesale businesses, private catalogs, and exclusive product launches.

The plugin allows you to create sophisticated protection rules from a single management interface. You can apply protection storewide or to selected products using over 10 different sources such as product categories, tags, brands (via WPC Brands), collections (via WPC Smart Product Collection), product visibility settings, and more. Each rule can include complex date and time conditions, enabling you to schedule access restrictions based on specific days, hours, or launch dates. Multiple objects (such as categories or brands) can be assigned to the same rule, and multiple passwords can be set for the same protected subject with different expiration times.

WPC Advanced Password Protect offers three protection methods: password-based access, user role-based access (Premium), and individual user-based access (Premium). This flexibility makes it perfect for stores with multiple user roles such as wholesalers, subscribers, or shop managers. You can define authentication expiry times, limit unsuccessful login attempts, and customize error messages to prevent password probing and block suspicious users. Protected products can also be forced to become unpurchasable to prevent unauthorized purchases, especially when used with third-party product listing plugins.

The plugin includes advanced features such as drag-and-drop rule organization, rule preview, customizable password forms, universal form settings, and compatibility with popular WPC plugins like Smart Quick View, Wishlist, and Compare. It works seamlessly with most WordPress themes and WooCommerce extensions.

Whether you want to protect pre-launch products, restrict access to wholesale buyers, share private collections with selected clients, or manage timed promotional access, WPC Advanced Password Protect for WooCommerce GPL provides a secure, flexible, and comprehensive solution for managing store visibility and membership control.
