Description
Spending Limits for WooCommerce enables customers to set personal spending limits and purchase restrictions on their accounts, promoting responsible practices.
This plugin allows customers to configure spending limits for specific time periods (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly) directly from their account dashboard. Once a limit is set, customers can only reduce it — increases or removals require administrator intervention. Additionally, customers can voluntarily lock their accounts from making purchases for predefined periods, with only administrators able to lift these restrictions early.
Features
- Customer-controlled spending limits: Set maximum spending amounts per day, week, month, or year
- Self-imposed purchase locks: Temporarily lock account from purchases for 1, 4, 12 weeks, 1 year, or permanently
- One-way limit adjustments: Customers can reduce limits but cannot increase or remove them without admin approval
- Administrator controls: Edit or remove customer limits and purchase locks from wp-admin
- User management dashboard: View lists of users on break and their current spending limits
- Audit log: Searchable history of all limit and lock changes
- CSV export: Export user lists and audit logs for record-keeping
