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, site admin can set global spending limit and 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 #### Use Cases * Supporting responsible gambling and gaming commerce * Age-restricted product stores with spending controls * Subscription services with voluntary budget management * Any WooCommerce store promoting responsible purchasing #### PRO Features All features of the free version, plus: * Global spending limit for all site customers * Custom limit periods: Configure limits by custom number of weeks or days beyond standard intervals * Comprehensive reporting dashboard: Dedicated pages for users with active limits and locked accounts * Advanced audit logging: Full audit log page with detailed history * Date range filtering: Filter all reports by specific date ranges * Enhanced CSV exports: Export capabilities across all report pages * Premium support: Direct access to our ticket support system at https://wpgenie. org/support/ #### Support You can contact us at our website [wpgenie.org](http://wpgenie.org/) if you have problems or questions. ## Screenshots * [[ * Spending Limits for WooCommerce My Account entry where user can set limits and lock * [[ * Options for Administrators in Edit User Profile page in wp-admin * [[ * PRO feature – Page in wp-admin that shows users on break with export to CSV * [[ * PRO feature – Page in wp-admin that shows users with limit set and option for CSV export * [[ * PRO feature – Page in wp-admin with audit logs and option for CSV export * [[ * PRO feature – Global spending limits ## Installation #### Minimum Requirements * WordPress 5.0 or greater * WooCommerce 5.0 or greater #### Setup This section describes how to install OnSale Page for WooCommerce plugin and get it working. 1.

So now seriously considering the Pro version as I wasn’t expecting such great support on a free plugin( although to be fair it was a feature request to benefit all!).Don’t hesitate to try this, a couple clicks to install and it works well.
