Dual Pricing - Wholesale Pricing for V1.50?

[Johnnycopilot]

Is there a version of this addon that will work with Zen Cart V1.50? Let me say what I need in case there is something else that would work as well (I actually don't even know if Dual Pricing is what I need, but I think it is - if someone would let me know that would be nice). I want to make a retail website that has a separate section for my wholesale customers. I do not want the RETAIL Customers to see the WHOLESALE prices... For example, I would have listing for a Body Board (Boogie board) in the retail part of the site that the public can see, and see the price ... but on the wholesale part of the site, I would have that same board, but available in boxes of 6, and also available as a single unit but at a lower price per unit than the retail price... And the public OR my regular retail customers, once logged in, would NOT be able see the wholesale prices, or sign in to the dealer side of the site at all.. The dealer would have to get his Login and/or Password from me.. As Usual, any help would be appreciated!!!

Let me ask this.. Will the version of Dual Pricing that already exists work in V1.50? has anyone tried that? Thanks!!

ok, how about this.. is there some built-in function already in Zen Cart that will do something similar to this? having "two" websites in one? Different login's for different types of customers and/or pricing databases? Thanks!!!! :)

I don't know about the mod you mentioned. You may have to install it in a test site and see if it works.

There's nothing built in to Zencart that will do that, and no other mod I'm aware of. The usual way of doing something like that is to install a separate copy of Zencart, either in a subdirectory (/wholesale) or a different domain.

We always advise a folder or subdomain with a copy of the original site. Change the items needing changed. Product pricing can be simple by Sal if everything is a 4% markup or something of the sort.
You can also add a nofollow to the wholesale site to prevent the SEs finding duplicate info.
