There are many ways that you can let customers log into your WooCommerce online store.

WooCommerce Hide Registration

WooCommerce allows you to set up a login straight out of the box, with or without compulsory registration and social login. Additionally, there are many different types of WooCommerce login, which you can add to your store.

Different Types of WooCommerce Login

The term ‘WooCommerce Login’ is the process where customers log into your online store. However, this is quite a vague term, and there are several ways to set it up. It is important to use the one that fits the description of your online store.

Here are some of the different types of WooCommerce login:

Public WooCommerce store with guest checkout – Many WooCommerce stores use this type of setup. This setup allows anyone to browse the products in your store. Moreover, there is no hidden content. Customers can purchase products as a guest without having to log in. Additionally, customers can optionally create an account during the Checkout.
Public WooCommerce store with mandatory user accounts – Some WooCommerce stores require customers to register or log in to their accounts to purchase products.
Customer portal with protected product categories – This form of setup uses password protection on different parts of your WooCommerce store or restricts specific users or user roles. However, the public can view the products.
Private WooCommerce store – Some stores hide the whole WooCommerce store from public view so that customers must log in to access products.

Let us look at how you can hide or move the user registration at the Checkout.
