How to Hide WooCommerce Menus for Clients

Agencies often struggle with WooCommerce because of confusing store settings. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with WooCommerce for Clients

While WooCommerce is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:

• Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
• "I broke the site" support tickets.
• A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".

The Manual Way (Hard)

You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.

The Client Calm Way (Easy)

Client Calm allows you to toggle off specific WooCommerce menu items for Shop Managers, keeping them focused on orders.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the WooCommerce menus you want to hide.

It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
