TradeGate for WooCommerce
A WooCommerce add-on that turns any store into a B2B trade portal with gated pricing, trade account applications, and an approval workflow. It provides a purpose-built admin queue for reviewing applicants (with notes), automated email verification, and post-approval access rules that unlock pricing and purchasing based on account status.
Target customer
Small to mid-sized wholesalers and manufacturers running WooCommerce who sell to trade customers and must restrict pricing to approved accounts.
Problem-solution fit
Instead of repeatedly hiring freelancers to stitch together multiple plugins/theme code for account gating and approvals (which often breaks on updates), the product provides a stable, opinionated workflow: application → email verification → review/approve with notes → pricing visibility rules. This matches the exact workflow described in the job and is reusable across many B2B WooCommerce merchants.
