2. Login to your WordPress admin dashboard.
3. Go to Plugins > Add New.

After activating the plugin, follow these steps to configure your product visibility settings:

Go to Products > Product Vault in your WordPress dashboard.

Click Add New Restriction to create a new restriction rule.

• Rule Title: Name your restriction rule for easy reference.
• Priority: Set the priority level for this rule (rules with higher priority will be applied first).

Product Vault offers several restriction types for complete control over product visibility:

• Hide Prices & Add to Cart Button: Hide prices and replace “Add to Cart” with a custom label for specific user roles or customer types.
• Hide Products/Categories: Hide selected products and categories from specific customers or user roles.
• Geolocation: Restrict access to products and categories based on the customer’s country.
• Previous Orders: Show or hide products and categories based on a customer’s past purchase history (e.g., number of orders placed).

• Show or hide the product price and “Add to Cart” button for guests, registered users, or specific user roles (e.g., Wholesaler, B2B, Retailers).

• You can replace the price with a custom label and redirect the “Add to Cart” button to a custom URL.

• Control visibility of specific products and categories for particular user roles and customers.

• This feature is particularly useful for offering exclusive products to premium users.

Choose which countries can see specific products or categories. This feature is crucial for international shipping regulations or geo-targeted marketing.

• Set restrictions based on how many orders a customer has previously made.

For example, hide premium products from customers with fewer than a certain number of completed purchases.

Product Vault offers flexible rule-based management:

• Create multiple rules to add restrictions for different products, categories, or customers.

• Set the rule priority: When multiple rules are applied to the same product or category, the rule with the highest priority (lowest number) takes precedence.

You can also set variations visibility for different user roles. 

• Go to All Products option under the products menu and select to Edit the product you want to set variations for.

Select the Variations Tab in the menu and expand.

• hide product variations and prices according to the user role for that particular product. 

•  Click to Save Changes.

The plugin dynamically adjusts what customers see based on the restrictions you’ve set. For example:

• Restricted Products: Products that are hidden won’t appear in shop or category listings.
• Hidden Prices/Add to Cart Button: If a product price or button is hidden, customers will see your custom label instead.

• Missing Products on the Frontend: Ensure that your restriction rules are set up correctly, and check the rule priority.
• Prices Not Hidden: Make sure that the “Hide Prices” rule is applied to the correct user roles and that no conflicting rules exist.

1. Can I hide variations instead of entire products?
   Yes, variations can be hidden by configuring the restriction rules at the variation level.
2. How do I apply multiple rules to a product?
   You can create multiple rules with different priorities. The rule with the highest priority will take effect if more than one applies to the same product.
