Restrict Checkout for WooCommerce

The Complete WooCommerce Checkout Restriction Plugin

Control who can complete checkout with rule-based restrictions. Block by cart quantity, cart total, products, categories, user roles, purchase history, or region. Display custom messages or redirects to guide restricted users. Perfect for B2B stores, geo-restricted shipping, VIP products, and minimum order enforcement.

• 7 powerful rule types — Cart quantity, cart total, products, categories, regions, user roles, and purchase history. Combine for precise control.
• Unlimited rule sets — Create as many rules as you need, each with its own conditions, messages, and priority. Name them (« Wholesale EU », « First-Time Buyers », « VIP Only ») for easy management.
• Custom messages & redirects — Don’t just block — guide restricted users with tailored messages or redirect to registration, contact, or info pages.
• Priority handling — Assign priority numbers to handle overlapping rules deterministically. Lower numbers take precedence.

1. Cart Quantity

Restrict checkout when cart item count is greater than, less than, or equal to a defined number. Perfect for minimum order quantities or wholesale-only thresholds.

2. Cart Total

Restrict based on cart subtotal or total value. Enforce minimum order amounts ($100 minimum for wholesale), maximum order caps, or specific price ranges.

3. Products in Cart

Restrict checkout when specific products are in the cart. Combine with user role rules to allow only certain customers to purchase those products.

4. Categories in Cart

Restrict by product categories. Useful for category-wide rules like « Wholesale Only » sections or restricting bulk goods to verified buyers.

5. Region (Country, State, ZIP Code)

Block checkout for customers in specific countries, states, or ZIP codes. Uses AND logic — match country AND state AND zip together for precise targeting.

6. Customer & User Role

Restrict checkout for specific WordPress user roles, individual customers, or guest users. Force registration or membership before checkout.

7. Purchase History

Restrict based on order count, total spent, or whether the customer has purchased before. Allow only repeat buyers, block new customers from restricted products, or gate VIP access after X orders.

How do region restrictions work — do they combine as AND or OR?

Region rules use AND logic. If you set Country = Germany AND State = Bavaria AND ZIP = 80331, ALL three must match for the restriction to fire. This prevents accidentally blocking customers in unrelated regions when you only mean to block a specific area.

Can I create multiple restriction rules at the same time?

Yes. Create unlimited rules, each with its own conditions, messages, and priority. Examples: « Wholesale EU Only » (combines country + user role), « Minimum $50 Order » (cart total), « VIP Products » (specific products + customer list).

What happens when multiple rules apply to the same customer?

Priority handling resolves conflicts. Each rule has a priority number, and lower numbers take precedence. The highest-priority matching rule’s message is shown to the customer. This gives you deterministic behavior with no surprises.

Can I redirect restricted users instead of blocking them?

Yes. Each rule supports a redirect URL. Instead of showing an error message, restricted users are sent to a registration page, contact form, info page, or any URL you choose. Much better UX than a hard block.

Does this restrict shipping methods or payment gateways?

No — this plugin restricts checkout access, not individual shipping/payment options. If you need to disable specific shipping or payment methods conditionally, use WooCommerce Conditional Shipping and Payments. Restrict Checkout focuses on whether the customer can checkout at all.

Will this work with my WooCommerce theme?

Yes. The plugin works with all standard WooCommerce themes including Storefront, Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Kadence, Divi, and most premium themes. It hooks into core WooCommerce checkout validation rather than overriding templates.

Is this plugin compatible with HPOS and block checkout?

Yes. Fully compatible with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and works seamlessly with the new block-based checkout. Tested on the latest WooCommerce versions.

Can I restrict checkout by purchase history?

Yes. Configure rules based on order count, total spent, or whether the customer has previously purchased. Use cases: « Wholesale prices unlock after 3 orders, » « Limit-edition products require previous purchase, » « Block first-time buyers from high-value items. »

Does cancelled orders count toward purchase history?

No. Only completed orders count toward purchase history rules. Cancelled, refunded, and failed orders are excluded so customers aren’t penalized for abandoned or failed transactions.

What’s your support response time?

We aim to respond to all support requests within 12 hours on business days. Most queries are resolved within 24 hours. Support is included for the duration of your active subscription.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. WooCommerce offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all marketplace purchases. If the plugin doesn’t work for your use case, you can request a full refund within 30 days, no questions asked.
