Built a Custom Plugin to Restrict Content for Guest Buyers Only – Would Love Feedback

Had an interesting use case with a client: They had a Spin & Win feature on their WooCommerce site, but wanted it only available to actual customers. The catch? Most of their users were guest checkouts, and they didn’t want to force account creation just to spin.

I looked through a bunch of restriction plugins, but none supported guest email verification out of the box.

So I built one myself.

The plugin lets you restrict content to users who have purchased a specific WooCommerce product, even if they checked out as a guest. It’s lightweight and integrates via shortcode.

It’s currently awaiting WordPress.org approval, but I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature ideas, or critiques in the meantime!
