WooCommerce Customer Registration and Store Gating for Research Compounds
Some research compound operators choose to require customer verification before allowing purchases. PeptiCommerce supports multiple access control models natively.
Without PeptiCommerce
WooCommerce's native customer registration is an open opt-in with no verification workflow. Research compound operators who want age verification, B2B-only access, or invite-only stores need additional customization.
With PeptiCommerce
PeptiCommerce provides configurable store visibility and checkout modes: open (public), login-required, manual approval, or invite-only. Each mode has corresponding customer-facing flows managed automatically.
How It Works
-
1
Choose your access model
In Store Settings → Access Control, select your model: open, account-required, manual-approve, or invite-only.
-
2
Configure registration fields
Add custom fields to the registration form: business name, intended use statement, or any other field you want to collect.
-
3
Manual approval workflow
In manual approval mode, new registrations appear in an approval queue in your dashboard. One click approves or rejects with an automated email.
-
4
Invite-only mode
Generate invite links for specific customers. Non-invited visitors see a closed store message.
