Control which service categories each user can see and order: hide a category from specific users, or open a private category to chosen users.
What it is
Category access rules let you run private categories for selected customers, or hide particular categories from particular users.
How it works
- Each category is public or private. A public category can be blocked for individual users; a private one stays invisible until you allow a user.
- The rules apply on the New Order page, Mass Order, the Services page and the customer API, so a hidden category cannot be reached by any route.
- Guests only ever see public categories.
- The same visibility system is used for payment methods, so one way of working covers both.
Where to find it
Admin > Categories, then Visibility on the category you want to restrict.
