    Default Creating a separate Wholesale section

    I have my zen cart up and running and I LOVE IT!!! Now I am ready to take on another step, but need assitance :)

    I would like to create a wholesale section with wholesale pricing and give each person who shops wholesale a password. I know there is a way to do this, but honestly I do not have a clue where to start. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    there is a wholesale mod that is still being tested. basically you can just specify a wholesale price on each product without having to enter the product twice.
    in the admin area you give certain people 'wholesale' status and only they can see the wholesale price once logged in. there isn't a stable version out for 1.3.5 yet so I think I will be using group discounts in the meantime.

    group discounts comes with zen cart and you basically create different groups and then you can assign a percentage discount to each group. the people in those groups then get that percent discounted from their total order.

    The fellow who helped set up my cart installed dual pricing mod for us but we are not running the latest version of zc (using 1.3.1 I think) and wont upgrade until happy this particular mod will work ok. I think (not sure) that it doesnt work well with easy populate either.

    This works better for us than group discounts because the amount of discount we want to give depends on the type of product, not the type of buyer. Some items we dont give wholesale discount at all or to put it another way, everybody gets wholesale price. Dual pricing allows you to set two (or up to 4 prices I think) prices - retail is default showing if not logged in or logged as retail. If logged in as wholesale (you can have 3 levels I think but we only use one), then the discounted price is shown.

    Might be worth looking into as products only loaded once and two prices set - very quick and easy. You set the level of wholesale access when they create their account - 5 second edit in the account section when you are satisfied of their credentials.

    cheers

    I am using the Dual Pricing with the current 1.3.5 version - there is a quick fix in the thread on Dual Pricing (near the end).

    I also tried a fix for the EP but couldn't get it working and haven't had a chance to fix it or purse it yet but this is a good mod that is working (the DP).
