Restrict Make-Offer Button by User Role

Restrict the Make an Offer button to logged-in users #

To restrict the Make an offer button in Name Your Price: Make Your Own Offer for WooCommerce, go to WPFactory > Price Offers > General, set User visibility to Logged-in users only, and save. Guests then no longer see the button or the offer form. To limit the button to a specific role, use the alg_wc_po_show_offer_price_button filter.

Correction to an earlier version of this article: Name Your Price includes a built-in User visibility option. You do not need the PHP snippet or the [price_offering_product_button] shortcode that a previous version suggested; that shortcode does not exist.

Use the built-in User visibility option #

1. Go to WPFactory > Price Offers (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Price Offers).
2. Open the General section.
3. Set User visibility (alg_wc_po_offer_price_button_user_visibility) to Logged-in users only.
4. Save changes.

Guests will no longer see the button or the offer form. Signed-in users see it as normal.

Restricting by specific role #

The built-in option distinguishes between all users and logged-in users. To limit the button to a specific role (for example wholesale customers only), use the alg_wc_po_show_offer_price_button filter in a small snippet:

add_filter( 'alg_wc_po_show_offer_price_button', function ( $show, $product_id ) {
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'read' ) ) {
        return $show;
    }
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    return in_array( 'wholesale_customer', (array) $user->roles, true ) ? $show : false;
}, 10, 2 );

Return false to hide the button. This filter is documented in the Developer hooks and filters reference.

Tip #

If you require login, add a short note near your products directing guests to create an account, so the missing button does not look like an error.
