The Magento 2 Catalog Permissions extension allows restricting products and categories by customer group in a more flexible way while providing better customer-centric shopping services.
Key Features of Magento 2 Catalog Permissions Extension
The Magento 2 Catalog permissions extension is the most efficient way to restrict products/categories by customer groups and grant them special permissions for business reasons. For example, you can show special offers for B2B customers or wholesalers and hide them from other users.
Alternatively, you can hide product prices and Add to Cart button for non-logged-in customers and redirect them to the login/registration page to increase user sign-ups. To make it more convenient, you can create a restricted event and assign any category or individual product to it. By adding a countdown timer to an event, it will be possible to run restricted limited-time sales with an easy-to-use managing & tracking interface for admins.
Setting up Magento 2 category permissions by customer groups with our extension gives you even more options than you might expect. Check our use cases and main features below.
Most Effective Ways to Use Magento 2 Catalog Permissions
Hide some categories from specific customer groups and redirect them to any website page, displaying relevant content for wholesalers, retailers, and other customer segments.
Members Only Purchases
Restrict your entire store from non-logged in customers using a custom-looking splash page and encourage visitors to sign up to access exclusive offers.
Restricted Events by Customer Group
Restrict products on your Magento 2 store by customer groups - create a separate category, set discount amounts individually or in bulk, and enable access to specific customer groups.
Exclusive Products for VIP Customers
Offer exclusive items to your VIP clients and permanently hide them from other customers. Alternatively, set a time limit after which the category will be visible to everyone.
Set Up Catalog Permissions for Customer Groups on Any Magento 2 Store
Create a separate category for exclusive products or special offers and restrict access to it. If setting a limited time access, you can specify different permissions before, after, or during the event, and display a countdown timer to create a sense of urgency.
Give different category/product permissions for your customer groups: prevent them from viewing products and prices, or hide the "Add to Cart" button to disable purchases.
Make Category Permissions More Flexible with Extra Features
Page Redirect
Redirect users who are not allowed access to restricted events (categories or individual products) to the login/registration page or any CMS page. In this way, you can increase user sign-ups and display relevant content for each customer group.
Hide from Search
Make permissions even more effective - hide restricted categories/products from the catalog search results for the selected customer groups.
Product Timer
Set product restrictions by customer groups for a limited time when you sell during peak seasons or holidays. Display a countdown timer that tells customers when the product is available for sale or when its sale ends.
Category Timer
Restrict access for specific customer groups to an entire category and display a countdown timer to show the sale deadline.
Efficiently Manage & Track Sales in Restricted Categories
Schedule Restricted Events
Conveniently plan limited-time events using a visual event list and timeline. Schedule new restricted events and filter them by type, dates, and statuses.
Event Preview
Create an event, set a valid time range, and hit the “preview” button to browse your live website and what the restrictions will look like for different customer groups in the future.
Quick Discount Setup
Conveniently manage restricted sale events from a handy interface and set a discount amount in a few clicks. With mass actions, you can quickly update all discounts, sale quantity limits, and round sales prices.
Measuring the Success
Track the success of your restricted events by viewing detailed statistics on revenue, orders, and new user registrations for each restricted event.
Promote Restricted Deals to Increase Customer Engagement
Use widgets to advertise exclusive product/category events anywhere on your store and grab customer attention to register and get access.
Event Homepages
Set up Magento 2 catalog permissions for sale events and group them in a separate Event Homepage category (e.g. “Wholesaler Deals”) to promote your special offer and make navigation easier. You can also have multiple homepages (e.g. Exclusive Products, VIP Offers, New, etc.) to group restricted offers and improve user experience.
Restricted Event Videos
Engage customers with event thumbnail videos instead of pictures that automatically start playing on hover. Both Youtube and Vimeo services are supported.
Splash Page Video
Promote restricted categories or member-only offers on an attractive splash page to increase registrations and user engagement. Use a single image, slideshow, or video background of your choice.

It is truly an incredible extension. Campaign management and details are very well thought out. A treasure trove for those who want to increase their store turnover. Private Sales & Flash Sales Extension is good, but the support team is better than the extension :) Thank you, Plumrocket!
Great extension for flash events

The extension works flawlessly and has a lot of features that helped me get started with a private sale event. Thanks to the extension I was able to sell more products than before. If you have a Magento store and you want to create sales (flash sales, product discounts, daily deals), it's a must-have.

I am in the middle of setting up my shop which will launching soon and I stumbled upload Plumrocket and this extension caught my eye.
It was intriging having private sales for certain customer groups to offer. So I bought it, installed it and it's really nice that it is working out of the box.
There was/is a slight issue where the category images are not uploaded and getting deleted, but thats not Plumrockets fault. The extensions works great, it is a Magento bug who causes this problem.
Plumrocket handled the supprt in this case perfectly and I am so happy to find a great developer who cares about its "products" and customers.
perfect

I have been using this extension for 5 months. What I like the most is its simplicity in configuration of the Private Sale Events and Daily Deals. The support team works incredibly as well. I requested some minor customization, and they provided me an accurate quote and deadline, and made everything just fine. I'm really happy to be their customer.
Great Plugin & Even greater support!

I'm only using the plugins for a few days so I can't give an in-depth review yet..
That being said, the plugin works great! Does exactly as advertised. I had a few minor issues and the amazing support resolved them very quickly!
Great module and great support, what else do you need?

I know that the M1 version of this extension was leading the market for years. Now they released first serious private sales module for M2. Did not hesitate to get it for my store. Qualified, well-crafted module and great code. This is what M2 really lacks.
Thanks, this private and flash sales extension is what adds more power to my website!
