## Description

Invites & Access Control for WooCommerce lets a store operate as an invite-only 
shop while keeping the process simple for customers and administrators.

Features include:

 * Turn invite-only purchasing on or off.
 * Create unique, email-specific invite links.
 * Set an access window from 1 to 365 days (7 days by default).
 * Track issued, redeemed, expired, and purchased invites.
 * Manage invites from a WooCommerce admin submenu.
 * Customize the site name, sender identity, logo, and email branding.

When invite-only mode is disabled, normal WooCommerce purchasing behavior is restored.

### Usage

When invite-only mode is enabled, customers must use a valid invite link and remain
within their access window to purchase.

Administrators can create, resend, redeem, expire, delete, and mark invites as purchased
from the admin page.

### Important Notes

 * WooCommerce is required.
 * Invite links are intended to be used by the invited email address.
 * Public invite links use their unique token as the authorization mechanism; WordPress
   admin nonces are not applicable to these logged-out customer links.

### A Note from the Author

This plugin was made because a simple problem did not need another subscription 
or license fee. So I am giving it away.

You are free to use it, modify it, improve it, fork it, and share it under the GPL.
The GPL permits charging for distribution, but selling this plugin is not endorsed
by the author. I would much rather see useful improvements shared with the community
than another subscription for something this simple.

### License

This plugin is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
 2. Upload and activate this plugin.
