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
