H6 Private Store for WooCommerce gives you simple, precise control over who can access your private WooCommerce store.
Whether you’re running a WooCommerce wholesale store, a trade-only shop, a members-only WooCommerce store, a B2B WooCommerce login-only store, or a private WooCommerce catalogue, you can quickly lock down your WooCommerce content without adding unnecessary complexity.
Use it to password protect a WooCommerce shop, hide WooCommerce products from guests, or keep a pre-launch catalogue private until you are ready.
Perfect for:
- Wholesale and trade-only stores
- B2B customer portals and login-only catalogues
- Private product catalogues
- Members-only WooCommerce stores
- Pre-launch or invite-only shops

Quick setup and protection overview
Use setup presets for common private-store patterns, then check the protection overview to see what visitors need access for.
REST and block hardening
Optionally block unauthorised catalogue REST requests to reduce product exposure through modern storefront and block endpoints.
Compatibility Notes
H6 Private Store is designed for classic WooCommerce shop, product, cart, checkout, and account pages.
The optional REST and block hardening setting blocks common unauthorised WooCommerce catalogue REST and Store API requests while protection is active. It is best-effort hardening for modern storefront and block endpoints, not a full WooCommerce Blocks integration layer. Custom themes, blocks, and integrations should be tested on your store.
The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). It does not directly store or query WooCommerce order table data.
Protected areas can include the whole site, selected WooCommerce areas, or selected content. Public exception pages can stay visible in whole-site mode. Search engine handling can send noindex headers on restricted requests, but no plugin can guarantee that already-indexed URLs will disappear instantly from search engines.
