woocommerce conditional products/categories on user role

Question

Looking for a plugin that helps me to restrict woocommerce products or product categories based on role.

Let's say that I only want to sell bulk products to whole sale buyers.

Any help is awesome, thanks!

Here is how I managed to hide products based on role:

First, I have added a checkbox in the product options inventory section to enable admins to hide the products based on their selection:

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_stock_status', 'hide_if_available_to_user_role' );

function hide_if_available_to_user_role(){
    woocommerce_wp_checkbox( array( 'id' => '_hide_from_users', 'wrapper_class' => 'show_if_simple show_if_variable', 'label' => __( 'Hide this product from specific roles?', 'customhideplugin' ) ) );
}

I then saved this selection in the actual post when a post is updated.

add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'hide_save_product_meta' );

function hide_save_product_meta( $post_id ){
    if( isset( $_POST['_hide_from_users'] ) ) {
        update_post_meta( $post_id, '_hide_from_users', 'yes' );
    } else {
        delete_post_meta( $post_id, '_hide_from_users' );
    }
}

This is how I got current user's role.

function getCurrentUserRole( $user = null ) {
    $user = $user ? new WP_User( $user ) : wp_get_current_user();
    return $user->roles ? $user->roles[0] : false;
}

Now query products. If the current user role matches the roles below, show the products as usual. Otherwise, set the query based on the code above...

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'hide_product_query' );

function hide_product_query( $q ){

  if((getCurrentUserRole() == 'editor' ) || (getCurrentUserRole() == 'administrator' )){

return false;
} else  {


$meta_query = $q->get( 'meta_query' );

    if ( get_option( 'woocommerce_hide_out_of_stock_items' ) == 'no' ) {
        $meta_query[] = array(
                    'key'       => '_hide_from_users',
                    'compare'   => 'NOT EXISTS'
                );
    }

    $q->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );

}


}
