I have installed the Dual prices (Wholesale/Retail Pricing) plugin (v2.0) into my store (v1.5.1). It seems to be working well and is really useful, but I wish it had a way for customers to be able to request the wholesale option when they create an account. That way, it would expedite the authorization, rather than have them send another e-mail to request it. Is there an easy way I could edit the Create Account Page to add that option to it so that when they log in they see the wholesale prices.

Also I have installed the Add Customers from Admin plugin (v2.0.2) to my store and would like to add the Wholesale/Retail pricing option to the add customer form that that app generates. Could someone walk me through which files I need to edit and in what way so that it is in synch with Dual Prices?

I got this from the from the Add_Customer forum:

"...to add a Wholesale/Retail switch (and associated database manipulations) to this plugin, you'll need to modify:

/YOUR_ADMIN/add_customers.php: Add a table-row to display (I'm guessing) a checkbox field that identifies whether (checked) or not (unchecked) the customer is a wholesale one.

/YOUR_ADMIN/add_customers_backend.php: Update the insert_customer function to check for the presence (i.e. checked) of the wholesale-customer $_POST variable and set the associated field in the required table of the database.

/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english/add_customers.php: Add whatever label you want to have associated with the Wholesale/Retail checkbox. "

I'm not a programmer and I'm still unclear about how to do this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks go out to all those folks that make this such a great application.

Tom, you might consider installing "Extra Fields on Customer Sign Up": http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1137

It doesn't have radio buttons, but it will be a great starting point. In addition, you could use one of the text fields so customers can enter their Reseller #

For those of you looking for a working upgrade, I've uploaded the latest work-in-progress here.

Do not install this on a live site!

Please install on a test site and provide feedback here so I can (eventually) post a fully working version to the Add-ons section.

Been searching the forums for a while now but cant find a similar question: I installed and am using dual pricing with success. All is fine but it would be nice if I could limit my wholesale customers to see only certain categories of products (we only wholesale the products that we manufacture, but have many other products in the online store. The problem is that the wholesale customers want to order these other products in large quantities - that we don't keep - and at reduced prices - which is not possible). I guess this is a tall order... might end up doing a seperate catalog just for wholesale.... Any ideas from the experts out there?

Oh, and if I can add to my wish list, it would be nice to offer wholesale customers completely different shipping method options.

Simple question does this work with V1.9.h?

OK I put the last requested under the wrong heading.

Does the 'DUAL Pricing v2' work with V1.3.9h?

How do you initiate the process of integrating zen-cart with the amazon webstore?

@Francois,
You may want to try the Hidden Wholesale module. Essentially, any product with Retail price of $0 will be hidden from retail customers but will be shown to wholesalers. http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=963

I haven't tested it, but I think you could hide shipping options with the following code (just paste inside the shipping module file):

if ($_SESSION['customer_whole'] && $_SESSION['customer_whole'] != '0') {
    //wholesale customers will see this content
} else {
  //retail customers will see this content
}
