    I’m running WooCommerce 2.5.2 and trying to find a plugin or some custom code that will control the display of the inventory stock quantity by role. The store sells to consumers and wholesalers. If consumers come to the site they are assigned the default role and we do not want to display the stock quantity. Wholesalers are assigned to a different role than the default and receive pricing that is associated with that role. They see the pricing for their role once they login. We want them to also be able to see the stock quantity. I have looked all over for a plugin solution but have come up empty. Help would be really appreciated?

    You can override and wrap this line with a role check https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/single-product/add-to-cart/simple.php#L36

    Mike is right, you would need add some conditionals (either as part of your child theme or a custom plugin) to check the role before displaying the stock count.

    It’s a pretty niche thing and you’d likely need to get in touch with a web developer. Else, I can also send a list of 3rd party service providers that should be able to help?

    Hi there.

    I need the same for my store,

    did you find the way to do it?

    Thanks in advance

    I did find a solution. I went with the “Catalog Visibility Options” plugin from WooCommerce. It wasn’t exactly the solution I had in mind but it ended up working out perfectly. The plugin enables you to control the display of the Add to Cart button by Role. As it turned out the functionality that controls the display of the Add to Cart button also controls the display of the inventory quantity. In other words, disable the display of the add to cart for and your’re disabling the inventory display. This is essentially the requirement I needed to fulfill for my client and avoided the need for writing anything custom. Hope that helps! Matt Stanigar – Step 7 Consulting

    thanks mstanigar, not exactly what I was looking for but anyway, it gave me some ideas on how to create the hook.
    Cheers
