Restrict Checkout gives store owners full control of their WooCommerce checkout process. Restrict checkout for guests, specific user roles, selected customers, products, categories, purchase history, or regions. Display custom messages, redirects, or pop-ups to guide users, prevent unauthorized orders, and enforce store policies — all with a simple, code-free setup.
