How Do You Force WooCommerce Customers to Login or Register Before They Buy?

There are a few ways to force WooCommerce customers to login or register before they buy. The first way is to set up a WooCommerce account and then require customers to log in or register before they can purchase anything. This can be done by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts and check the “Force customer to login before checking out” option.

Another way to do this is by using a plugin like WooCommerce Force Login. This plugin allows you to set up a redirect so that when customers try to access the checkout page, they will be redirected to the login/register page first.

You can also add a notice on the checkout page that requires customers to login or register before they can proceed with their purchase. This can be done by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'wc_require_login_notice' );
function wc_require_login_notice() {
  if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
  echo '<p class="notice">You must be logged in to checkout.</p>'; }
}

There are a few other ways to go about this as well, but these are some of the most common methods. Ultimately, it’s up to you as the store owner to decide whether or not you want to require customers to login or register before they can buy from your store.
