There are many plugins that allow you to setup special accounts for your wholesalers for example. Often times the user role feature of WordPress is used to identify users within a specific group. In this post I’ll show some examples of how you can display/hide prices for specific user groups, including only for specific products / categories.
The snippets in this post will only be for hiding prices, it will still continue users to add products to the cart.
Hiding all the prices
Lets start with a simple script first. This is a example of how you can hide all the prices no matter who is viewing.
I’ve made it so that it does still show prices on the admin, but you can easily comment that line out if you also want to hide prices there.
This code snippet hides all the prices on the product / archive pages, but not on the cart/checkout pages (or the cart widget). The following code also removes the cart item price / subtotal and the same for the checkout.
After using this code snippet it will leave the headings in the table. Unfortunately these cannot be removed with a code snippet, but there are two alternatives.
- By modifying the WooCommerce template files you can remove the columns from the totals table. The totals table is located in the
cart/cart.phptemplate file. - You can hide them with CSS. A technical user could still uncover the product prices through, so depending on how important it is, this may or may not fit your requirements.
Here’s a CSS snippet that hides the prices on the items on the cart/checkout table and the cart widget:
/* Cart widget */
.woocommerce-mini-cart__total {
display: none;
}
/* Cart */
.product-price, .product-subtotal {
display: none !important;
}
/* Checkout */
.product-total *, th.product-total {
display: none;
}
Again, this is not a foolproof solution.
Hiding prices for specific user roles
In the below code snippet it will hide the prices for all users with the ‘wholesale’ user role. In the sample code I’ve added multiple rows to show how you can can hide prices for different user roles. Adding more options to it is possible by following the shown format.
Hiding prices for guest users
To only hide it for guest users you can use the following simplified version;
Hiding prices in specific categories
With this version of the code snippet you can target specific categories to hide the prices for.
You can either modify the set categories to the slug of ID of the category.
If wanted you can also combine the snippets to only hide the prices in specific categories for a guest user;
Hiding prices for specific products
Here’s one last version where it only hides the prices for specific products based on the product ID.

Any solution to hide all the price from the custom post type
Not sure what CPT you’re referring to; you can try to add a `get_post_type()` or `is_singular(”)` check to the snippet.
Hi, where shoud I paste “Hiding prices for specific products” code?
thanks a lot!
Hi Teo,
Code snippets can be added to your site as described here; https://aceplugins.com/how-to-add-a-code-snippet/
Cheers,
Jeroen
Thanks, this helped a lot!
Hi Jeroen. Is there a way to hide the price for specific products when a specific plugin is active on the product page?
Hi Leandro,
It is possible to customize the script further to target when a specific plugin is active. Targeting specific products can be done with the last snippet in the post.
For checking if a plugin is active you can use something like
is_plugin_active( 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php' )Cheers,

Hi it is posible to hide the price of products with the same attribute?
Thx so much!
Hi David,
It is possible to target products based on attribute, though I don’t have something readily available for this. Feel free to reach out through the contact page if you’d like my assistance in creating something for this.

Hi, i wanted to hide the price for a specific categorie.
I placed my category-ID in line 11 like “…get_id(my category -ID)” and deleted line 5 since i want to see it as admin like every customer.
In this scenario my prices are hidden in all categories – where is my mistake?
Hi Benjamin,
Line 11 shouldn’t be modified. Instead set your category slugs in the
$hide_for_categoriesvariable to change for which categories it should apply.Cheers,
Jeroen
Hi Jeroen,
Is there a snippet for hiding the price and add to cart from the archive (shop) page only? leaving the product page untouched. I want to have just the products and their title on the shop page.
Thank you!
Hi,
It is not something covered in this blog post, but you should be able to add a small check for
is_archive( 'product' );for example to check if its an archive page.Cheers,
Jeroen
Is there anyway to hide the prices using shortcode?
Also is it possible to hide prices without affecting single product page?
Hi Kins,
It won’t be possible to hide product prices with a shortcode..
If you’d like to only hide the prices on the overview pages you can add a additional check such as the
is_archive( 'product' )for example.Cheers,
Jeroen
Hello,
How can i hide cart total section, i want to make only catalog site without eCommerce functionality.
Regards
Hi Ali,
This blog is only focussed on hiding individual product prices, not to turn off the eComm functionality (it would require more than hiding the totals).
Cheers,
Jeroen
Hello Jeroen, i am trying to use the ‘hide prices for categories’ snippets, but i don’t know the values to change for it to work. If you can help tell me what to input to make it work, that will help me . Thanks
Hi Tony,
You’d want to change the slugs of the categories in the
$hide_for_categoriesvariable. The values ‘single’ and ‘album’ are used for the example, change these to the categories applicable for your setup.Cheers,
Jeroen
Hello again Jeroen, Thank you so much for earlier. The categories worked but now can you help tell me what i should replace in the single products just like in the categories. Thank you and i am waiting to hear your response
HI Jeroen, how do i edit the snippets and make the price show up in the cart page
Hi Kassy,
The first snippet on this page should work for you, this hides all the prices, but it does not hide the ‘line prices’ in the cart/checkout page(s).
Cheers,
Jeroen
Good Day Jeroen, Glad i found this blog
Patterning to kassy’s question about not hiding the prices on the cart/checkout page, will the first snippet that you pointed out to Kassy still work if i want to only hide prices for certain categories or is there another specific snippet that works just for hiding prices in a particular category and not hiding them in the cart/checkout page.
Thank you and i am waiting to hear from you kind sir
Hi John,
You’d want to use the other snippet on this page. You can remove the last 2 lines to not hide the prices on the cart/checkout.
Cheers,
Jeroen
Thank You for replying Jeroen, but please with snippet am i removing the last 2 lines in. Is it the snippet for the categories or what.
Hi Jeroen! One quick question: is there a way to hide all products where price is under certain value? For example, hide all products where price is < 100$.
Thank you!
Teo
Hi Teo,
Are you looking to hide products or product prices under $100?
Cheers,
Jeroen
Hi Jeroen,
I’m looking to hide products which have prices under $100.
Thanks!
Teo
I’m sorry! I need to hide products which have prices over $100 :).
Hi Teo,
Unfortunately the snippets in this post are not suitable to hide products completely. A different customization would be needed for this. Feel free to reach out through my contact form if you need help creating that.
Cheers,
Jeroen
Hi Jeroen – This is great! Is there a way to modify this such that rather than hiding based on product ID it hides based on a product tag?
Hi David,
You can use the product category snippet for that, just change the ‘product_cat’ to ‘product_tag’ in there and it should work.
Cheers,
Jeroen
Thanks Jeroen – that worked perfect! But it seems that with variable products when the page first loads the price is hidden, yet as soon as you select one of the options, the price is displayed again. Any way to make this work on variable products after selecting an option?
Hi David,
Unfortunately I don’t have a solution for that from the top of my head. The code may need some further customzing/addition added to it for that scenario.
Cheers,
Jeroen
