Ever had a situation where you want to offer a free product, but only after a customer has completed a specific purchase? I recently faced this exact challenge while working on an eCommerce site selling automotive programming codes.
Here’s the use case:
👉 Product A (a paid code) must be purchased first.
👉 Only then can the customer access Product B (a free add-on for the same vehicle).
👉 But guess what? Users were jumping straight to the freebie, bypassing the paid step!
I needed a clean, plugin-based solution to restrict access and even hide price in WooCommerce for certain users until they met the condition.
💡 The Solution?
Using smart conditional logic with a combination of WordPress plugins, I implemented a rule-based flow:
Check if Product A is purchased ✅
If not, hide Product B’s price or disable its purchase option 🚫
Once Product A is in their order history, Product B becomes accessible 🎯
No custom coding from scratch, just the right tools and a bit of creative thinking.
🛠 Plugin Suggestions:
