B2BKing's guest access restriction feature allows you to restrict shop access for logged-out users by hiding prices, hiding products or the shop completely, or replacing prices with a quote system.
There are four main settings that can be used:
Let's go through all of these options and see what each one does.
Note: This functionality provides a quick way to restrict the access of logged-out users. B2BKing also has a more advanced and flexible restriction system through dynamic rules, which can also be applied to logged-in users or groups. These rules allow you to hide prices on specific products or categories, hide the add-to-cart button, or enable a quote system on all products or specific products only.
This option replaces prices with a "Login to view prices" text. This text can be changed in B2BKing -> Settings -> Language and Text. The option also hides the "Add to Cart" button and disables the ability to check out. Logged-out users will see the following:
Shop view
Individual product page
The "Login to view prices" text can be turned into a link to the login page or a login pop-up, and it also supports icons.

This option hides all products from guests and displays a notification saying "Please login to access the B2B Portal" (this can be changed via the text settings). The notification is followed by the Login/Register fields.
When the "Hide shop & products" option is selected in the settings, an additional "Restrict all pages" switch appears:
If this is enabled, all other pages redirect to the page with the login form. If disabled, other pages can still be viewed normally (only product and shop pages are restricted).
This option is designed for intranets and other situations where you do not want users to see anything but the login screen. No matter what page they try to access, users will always be redirected to the WordPress login screen, as shown below.
This option does not include a registration form, so it should only be used in situations where customers receive their login details directly. In other cases, we recommend using "Hide shop & products" instead.
This option allows you to replace prices with an "Add to Quote Request" button, replacing the cart with a quote request system.
Note: Like all other guest access restriction features, this only applies to logged-out users. If you are looking to enable quotes for logged-in users, you can configure a "Replace Cart with Quote" rule.
Once the customer has added all the items they're interested in to the cart, they can enter their name, email address, and a custom message, then submit the quote request.
It is also possible to configure custom fields for this quote request form, choosing from 9+ types of fields, including text, date, dropdown, file uploads, and more.
B2BKing provides an advanced quote management system integrated with the "Conversations" feature, so you can send messages back and forth, discuss, and negotiate with prospective customers. For guest users, this system is simplified and messaging is disabled, since users do not have an account. You can contact these users via email instead.
When a customer sends a quote request, you will be able to view the request as follows:
You will also receive an email notification letting you know about the request:
When viewing a quote request, the admin can either send a message or respond with an offer, which customers can then add to their cart and purchase.
Through "Offers," you can allow customers to purchase a specific number of items at a specific price once an agreement is reached. To learn more about this, please see the articles on Conversations and Offers.

In addition to the main guest access restriction settings explained above, B2BKing also offers a more advanced and flexible restriction system through its "dynamic rules" feature. All rules can be applied to specific users or user groups.
There are several dynamic rules that can be used:
This flexible system gives you complete control over what each individual user sees.
Let's take a look at how a "Hidden Price" dynamic rule can be set up. You can choose the specific product or category and select who the rule applies to. Options include:
To learn more about this, see the dedicated Dynamic Rules article.
Another important feature of B2BKing is the ability to fully control the visibility of specific products or categories for specific users or groups.
You can use this to display a different catalog to each individual user or group.
For example, you can have specific products that are shown only to B2B users, other products that are shown only to B2C users, and some products that are visible only to individual users (by username).
To learn about using and setting up visibility, please see the "Product Visibility" documentation article.
