How Do I Change User Registration in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:10 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products or services online, you may want to customize the user registration process to better suit your needs. By default, WooCommerce allows anyone to create an account on your site. However, you can change this behavior by modifying the “Allow new registrations” setting in the WooCommerce settings.

To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy. From here, you can select one of three options for the “Allow new registrations” setting:

  • Yes: Anyone can register an account on your site.
  • No: Only people who are invited can register an account on your site. You can invite people by email from the WooCommerce > Invite Customers page.
  • Newsletter only: Only people who sign up for your newsletter can register an account on your site. You can manage your newsletter subscribers from the MailChimp for WordPress > Lists page.

Conclusion:

Regardless of which option you choose, you can always invite people to create an account on your site from the WooCommerce > Invite Customers page.

PRO TIP: If you are changing the user registration settings in WooCommerce, be sure to backup your database first. There is a chance that you could lose data if something goes wrong.
