    Default Surcharge for selected customer ?

    Good morning (or whatever applies )

    I am wondering if anyone can advise whether it is possible to do the following with Zen Cart ?
    I have a situation where - rather than wanting to apply a discount for a particular customer - I would like to increase all of my sale prices for selected customers.
    So - when the particular customer (s) log in - my prices are increased for that customer only.
    I use quick updates add-on - & this has a facility to increase / decrease margin - but I can't restrict that to a particular customer...

    Any thoughts on whether this can be done ?

    Many Thanks !

    The downside with this is that when they look at items prior to logging in, the price will be lower than after they log in, which could lead to complaints. It's sometimes easier to provide discounts for all customers in a specific group, and just leave them out of the group.

    Thank you - good point - although I have no prices showing unless logged in...not sure how that Group Pricing mod would work - unless I can assign my chosen customer to a permanent extra cost group....

    If you have no prices until login, then my concern is not an issue.

    If you wanted to change this, my suggestion would be put all customers (except surcharged customers) into one pricing group that gets a discount. Non-surcharged customers would see their discount at checkout.

    Many Thanks - looks like I'll have to assign the majority of 360 customers to that assigned group - unless there's a way to assign all of them & then remove the particular customer (s)

    I would do that through SQL. You'll also want to modify your create account process to automatically add them to the group you create.
