Visibility Status

↑ Back to top

You can change the visibility status of any product based on the user roles: guest user or registered user. This allows you to offer exclusive products to logged-in customers or hide items from the general public.

Guest User

↑ Back to top

Guest Users are visitors who are browsing your WooCommerce store without logging into an account. These users have not registered on your website or are simply not signed in at the moment. They typically include:

1. First-time visitors
2. Users comparing products or browsing anonymously
3. Customers who have not yet created an account

By targeting Guest Users with visibility rules, you can:

1. Hide premium or exclusive products from the general public
2. Encourage registration by showing “members-only” items to logged-in users only
3. Display teaser products that lead to sign-up pages for full access

For example, if you want to offer a special product available only to logged-in users, you can choose to hide that product from all Guest Users.

Registered User

↑ Back to top

Registered Users are customers who have created an account and are currently logged in. These users are recognized by WooCommerce and can be assigned various user roles such as:

1. Customer (default role)
2. Subscriber
3. Wholesale Buyer
4. Retail Customer
5. Any custom user roles you define

With registered user targeting, the plugin provides even more advanced control, including:

1. Showing or hiding products based on specific user roles
2. Applying rules based on purchase history, such as total amount spent or number of orders
3. Blocking access to previously purchased items
4. Personalising visibility based on customer engagement and loyalty

For instance, you may want to show a VIP collection only to users with the “Wholesale Buyer” role who have spent more than $500, or hide certain items from regular customers while showing them to distributors.

Show/Hide

↑ Back to top

The Show/Hide field is a core control option within the Product Visibility Rule Set plugin by WP-Majesty. It determines the visibility behavior of a product or product category for a selected group of users or based on specific conditions.

When to Use “Show”

↑ Back to top

Use the Show option when you want to:

1. Make a product visible only to specific user roles (e.g., show a product only to “Wholesale Buyers”)
2. Display a product only to customers from specific countries
3. Make a product available to users who meet a certain purchase history or order quantity

When to Use “Hide”

↑ Back to top

Use the Hide option when you want to:

1. Restrict a product from certain users (e.g., hide a retail-only item from “Distributors”)
2. Block access based on country or location
3. Hide products from new users who haven’t made a purchase yet

Purchase History (Only For Registered User)

↑ Back to top

The Purchase History feature allows store admins to set product visibility conditions based on a customer’s past orders. This is especially useful when offering loyalty-based access, exclusive offers for returning customers, or hiding products from users who’ve already bought them.

New Buyer (No Purchase History)

↑ Back to top

This option allows you to target first-time customers who haven’t placed any orders yet.

Use case: Show a “Welcome Bundle” only to new users.Example: Hide premium products until the user completes their first order.

Order Amount and Conditions

↑ Back to top

Set rules based on how much a user has spent in total on your store. This enables access to products depending on the user’s lifetime spending.

You can choose from:

1. Greater than ( > )
2. Less than ( < )
3. Equals to ( = )

Use cases:

1. Show high-ticket items to users who’ve spent more than $500.
2. Hide certain deals from users who’ve already received discounts after spending a specific amount.
3. Offer loyalty rewards to users who’ve hit a precise spending threshold.

Order Quantity and Conditions

↑ Back to top

Control visibility based on the number of products a customer has purchased in total, regardless of total order value.

You can choose from:

1. Order Quantity Greater Than ( > )
2. Order Quantity Less Than ( < )
3. Order Quantity Equals To ( = )

Use cases:

Show special bundles to users who’ve ordered more than 5 items in total.

Hide certain items from users who’ve only made 1 purchase.

Offer a special product to users who’ve made exactly 3 purchases.

Hide Previously Purchased Products

↑ Back to top

This option prevents customers from repurchasing the same product by automatically hiding it once they’ve bought it.

Useful for:

1. Single-purchase products (e.g., digital licenses or memberships).
2. Avoiding reorders of time-limited or exclusive products.

Combine with Other Rules

↑ Back to top

You can combine Purchase History conditions with:

1. User Roles
2. Country-based restrictions
3. Restriction modes (show message, redirect, make non-purchasable)

This gives you precise control over which products are shown and to whom — creating a smarter, more dynamic shopping experience.

Country

↑ Back to top

This feature is particularly useful for businesses that operate internationally and need to restrict product availability according to regional regulations, shipping capabilities, or market strategies.

The Country field becomes even more powerful when used alongside other rules:

1. Show a product only to registered users in the United States
2. Hide a product from guest users located in the European Union
3. Display exclusive offers for wholesale buyers in Canada

Choose Product

↑ Back to top

This gives you granular control over how individual items are displayed or hidden based on user roles, countries, and purchase history conditions.

Rather than applying rules store-wide or to entire categories, the Choose Product option lets you target individual products for fine-tuned visibility management.

Key Use Cases

↑ Back to top

1. Limit access to exclusive or premium products
   1. Example: Show “VIP Membership Kit” only to logged-in users with the “Wholesale Buyer” role.
2. Launch region-specific product offers
   1. Example: Display “Winter Gear Bundle” only to customers in Canada and Norway.
3. Block access to certain products for new customers
   1. Example: Hide “Bulk Order Pack” from users who haven’t placed an order yet.

Additional Filtering Options

↑ Back to top

When using the Choose Product field, you can further refine your rule by selecting products based on:

1. Attributes (e.g., color, size, material)
2. Tags (e.g., “exclusive”, “pre-order”)
3. Shipping Classes (e.g., heavy, perishable)

These advanced filters allow you to target groups of similar products that share characteristics — without having to manually select each one.

Choose Category

↑ Back to top

Instead of repeating the same rule for multiple products, you can select a product category (or multiple categories) and apply visibility logic in one go. All products under the chosen category will inherit the same visibility behavior automatically.

Combine with Other Fields

↑ Back to top

The Choose Category field can be used alongside:

1. User Role filters (Guest, Registered, Wholesale, etc.)
2. Country-based rules
3. Purchase history and order quantity conditions
4. Show/Hide behavior
5. Redirection or message display when a product is hidden

This flexibility allows you to manage large-scale visibility rules with just a few clicks, improving workflow efficiency and maintaining a streamlined product display for each customer segment.

Restriction Mode

↑ Back to top

The Restriction Mode defines how the plugin should behave when a product or category is hidden from a specific user based on the applied visibility rules. Instead of letting users hit a dead-end (like a 404 error or blank page), Restriction Mode gives you control over what they see or where they go — ensuring a smooth and intentional user experience.

Show a Message

↑ Back to top

This option allows you to display a custom message to users when a product is hidden due to visibility restrictions. It’s ideal for providing a clear explanation or call to action.

Redirect to a Specific Page

↑ Back to top

Instead of showing a message, you can choose to redirect the user to another page on your site. This could be a promotional landing page, a sign-up form, or an informational page about how to gain access.

Ruleset Priority

↑ Back to top

This feature controls the order in which multiple visibility rules are evaluated and applied. This is especially important when more than one rule could apply to the same product, user, or condition.

For example:

1. You might have one rule that shows a product to all wholesale users.
2. And another rule that hides it from users in a specific country.

Setting the country-specific rule to a higher priority (lower number) ensures that regional restrictions are enforced before user role-based visibility.

Best Practices

↑ Back to top

1. Assign unique priority values to avoid conflicts.
2. Use lower numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3) for rules that should override others.
3. Keep general rules (e.g., user role-based) at a higher number, and specific rules (e.g., by country or purchase history) at a lower number.
4. Review and update priorities as your store’s logic grows more complex.
