== Description ==
The WooCommerce Protected Categories plugin lets you protect entire shop categories in your WooCommerce store.
You can protect categories using a simple password, or lock them to specific user roles or accounts.
Do you add products for different clients or customers and want each client to only see their products?
Or maybe you need a trade or wholesale area which is not visible to the public?
Now you can do this and more with WooCommerce Protected Categories.
