Product Access Check

This plugin restricts access to products which are only associated with unpublished or access-restricted categories.

It provides a multi-layered protection:

• Product Page: Throws a 404 error if you try to access a product directly when its categories are unavailable to you.
• Cart: Automatically removes unavailable products from the cart and notifies the user.
• Orders: Prevents order creation if the cart contains restricted items.

• Easy and quick !
• 1) Download the plugin on our website
