Troubleshooting
Q1 I would like to lock a particular woocommerce product category from view by the public and only registered members can access it. These product categories are displayed on the menu. Is this possible by your plugin?
Answer: Those are custom pages dynamically created by the e-commerce plugin. Our plugin’s standard protection won’t’ work for those custom listing pages. Our plugin protects the final full page (the page that actually has the full content). Check the following link forum post to learn more.
FAQ
Q1 Can I collect recurring payment with the Woocommerce addon?
Answer: Yes, you can use any payment that is processed via the woocommerce plugin. Check the following link forum post to learn more.
