From what I understand, you’re having a bit of a challenge with your WooCommerce site. You’ve set up a digital product store and you’re finding that customers who’ve already purchased a product are still seeing the “Add to Cart” button. This isn’t ideal for one-time purchase items, and you’d prefer a message like “Already Purchased” to appear instead. You also mentioned that you can’t use the stock counting system and need unlimited stock for your products.

Good news! WooCommerce has a feature that might help. You can use the ‘Sold Individually‘ option found in the ‘Inventory‘ section of the ‘Product Data‘ settings. This limits customers to buying only one of each item per order. So, once a product is purchased, it can’t be added to the cart again.

Here’s how you can enable this:

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to ‘Products‘ and select the product you want to edit.
3. In the ‘Product Data‘ box, click on the ‘Inventory‘ tab.
4. Check the box next to ‘Sold Individually‘.
5. Click ‘Update‘ to save changes.

This won’t affect your stock levels, it just limits how often a customer can purchase a product. This seems perfect for your situation, as you need unlimited stock and don’t want to constantly update it.

??  However, this solution doesn’t replace the ‘Add to Cart‘ button with a ‘Go to Order‘ button or an ‘Already Purchased‘ message. For that, you may need a custom code. If you’re open to this, consider reaching out to Codeable.io, a WooCommerce development partner. They could potentially create a custom solution for you.

I hope this is helpful! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

not yet dad I actually want the users which have already purchased the code which I am selling they should not see the add to cart button or the buy now button they should directly see a message instead of that button which will say you have already built the product or already purchased using the stock option that will just damage my site not really there it will damage but it will show a number of stock on the product page as well as ID again and again need to refill this amount in stock if the user will buy them and I don’t think so it’s a good option I have seen many website who have this thing showing after buying the product already purchased I also want to show the same is there is any external plugin to do that so let me know about it or if there is any course snipping which can help me you can also let me know that I will be glad if you able to help me with this if you need any of my contact information so you can get connected with me so let me know ahead

Hi @jaynirmal

I understand that you want to customize your site so that customers who have already purchased a specific product do not see the ‘Add to Cart’ or ‘Buy Now’ buttons. Instead, they should see a message indicating that they have already purchased the product.

I agree that continuously refilling the stock amount could be tedious and might not be the best option for your business model.

To achieve what you’re looking for, you can use a combination of plugins and custom code.

1. WooCommerce Memberships: This plugin allows you to control which products are visible to different users. You can set it up so that users who have already purchased a certain product no longer see it.
2. Custom Code: You can add a custom function to your theme’s functions.php file that checks if a user has purchased a product before and changes the button text accordingly.

Unfortunately, custom coding is not something we can assist with directly. However, If you have any further questions on development or custom coding, don’t hesitate to reach out to some of our great resources available for support. Our WooCommerce community is brimming with skilled open-source developers who are active on the following channels:
