Hello:

I need some help please. I am in wholesale busniess, I would like to hide my price until the customer log in.

How do I do that?

Thanks

Use this contribution Easy Call for Price - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized and change text from call for price to login for price. Leave Retail group at $0 and create customer group wholesale with prices. Then you have to activate the account before they see prices and after activated will have to log in to see prices.

Thank you for your reply, but i am new to this. I am not sure how and where i create customer group. Would you please tell me? thanks

In admin under the customers category click on customer groups it will show you already have retail. Click insert and add another group which you could call wholesale then when you add products you will have 2 fields for price show one for retail which in your case you would leave $0 so it would say login for price(if you install that contribution) and the other field you would enter your wholesale price. Then when a customer creates an account you would go to that customer in admin and click edit and select from the dropdown menu wholesale and that customer will be able to see wholesale prices next time they log in. If they do not meet your criteria for wholesale then you would not select wholesale for them and they would not be able to see price if they log in. There are many other things you can do to make it work even smoother but it sounds like you need to get past the first step

Hello: Bkpie

Do i have to download "contribution easy call for price" because I go into customer- see "1 retail gorup, 2 wholesale goup" but when I click edit it only have 2 chioce for me to choose- 1.showprice with tax, 2. show price without tax

Also other question my product picture donot pop up. How can I made its popup?

I do thank you VERY MUCH

[bkpie]

Yes you have to download and follow instructions for install
What you see in edit is correct for customer groups. if wholesale you would select show price without tax It will also add shipping options once you choose which modules of shipping you want to use in admin. Learn everything you can in admin as you can do alot there. Just test things out.

As for pics I use the included mo pics and load small thumbnail into image directory and larger image in the image_big directory You will have a learning curve search and read as much as you can. There are alot of threads on different ways to handle pics and other things you want to do. If you want to see the pics in action since your family is in a similar business as mine go to my profile and visit my site. You can see how I handle wholesale even create an account. You can private message me if you have any question. You probably get a better deal from Thailand than me

Hi : Bkpie

at my admin-product this is all I got i am donot see retail box for me to input " 0"Note that if a field is left empty, no price for that customer group will be inserted in the database.
If a field is filled, but the checkbox is unchecked no price will be inserted either.
If a price is already inserted in the database, but the checkbox unchecked it will be removed from the database. Wholesale

[bkpie]

I am sorry that is correct. Products Price net and Products price gross should show 0
those are the fields that pertain to retail under customer groups. As a note you can create more customer groups if you wish like wholesale1 or Wholesale2 if some of your customers get better pricing.
