This is a chicken + egg problem.<br />
<br />
1) If site only allows verified users.<br />
<br />
2) New users can never access the site to become verified.<br />
<br />
Think through all steps in your verification sequence to allow non-users to access site enough to become users.<br />
<br />
Tip: The normal answer to this is everyone can see the site, become a user (register + pay), then access site content, after they've logged into site.

I agree with David Favor.<br><br>Everyone can log in, however, some can move on to higher user permissions once they've purchased or some other action to verify.<br><br><strong>Whiteboard this sequence for sure</strong>.<br><br>This will help you decide on an additional plugin from simple (user permissions plugin) to complex (Membership plugin), depending on your scenario.

Do you need to approve the web user? Or do they just need to register to have the ability to shop. The previous comments are getting into a different topic.

Likely some plugin like <u><a href="https://restrictcontentpro.com" rel="ugc">https://restrictcontentpro.com</a></u> will easily achieve your goal.<br />
<br />
There are 100s of RCP alternatives.<br />
<br />
Just find one that fits your requirements + install it + start making sales.

I searched for, and found a WooCommerce product -&nbsp;<h2>Private Store for WooCommerce - $49 a year. &nbsp;Meets my budget. &nbsp;I will be evaluating it this week.</h2><a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/private-store-for-woocommerce/" rel="ugc">https://woocommerce.com/products/private-store-for-woocommerce/</a><br><br>Thanks to all!

Tip: When you start using WooCommerce you'll list your relationship status as... Complicated...<br />
<br />
Because... with Woo... what you think will be simple... will be complex...<br />
<br />
For selling something simple, purchase the lifetime license of CRP or something similar.<br />
<br />
Avoid Woo, unless you just have to use it.

Hey Larry, you have a good solution that is also easy to set up. &nbsp;The option David gave may be a good one but it looks like it is a vanilla skeleton where woocommerce has a lot of integrated options including selling software keys making your choice a good one along with the plug in you found.<br><br>Opencart can do the same. If you had a lot of products or need a more robust system there is an upside, but having more options makes it harder to use and the frustration level is higher especially if there are just a few products. PLus you would need to use their hosted services, or use your own hosting and set up on your own. &nbsp;I have used this for some people and it is a good product when it makes sense.&nbsp;<br><a href="https://isenselabs.com/posts/how-to-sell-digital-products-in-opencart-20x" rel="ugc">https://isenselabs.com/posts/how-to-sell-digital-products-in-opencart-20x</a><br><a href="https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&amp;extension_id=14634" rel="ugc">https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&amp;extension_id=14634</a><br><br>For ease of use, stick with your choice.&nbsp;

I am selling software licenses on a wholesale basis.  I am not allowed to sell to the general public.  WooCommerce looks like a very good solution.  
I need a software add-on that will restrict the website and store to verified users only.
Can someone recommend a simple add-on or plug-in?
Thanks
