DUAL Pricing v2

[craftzombie]

So i read through this whole thread and it kinda looks like dual pricing will work for me, but can you clarify that it will do what I need?......

here goes

We sell dvds in this store. We are selling to wholesalers and distributors on this site. Another cart is not an option, unfortunatly the company owner wants it only on one.

I need wholesale pricing to be 12.00 for new products and 10.00 for older titles.
I need distributor pricing to be 15.00 for new products and 13.00 for older titles.

The products are the same for both cust types.

If dual pricing will work cool. if not, any idea what I should i use?

Thanks for any help here,
jim

Hi Jim,

Dual Pricing would work like this.....

No Country For Old Men
Price: 15.00
Wholesale: 12.00-0.00-0.00-0.00

The Breakfast Club
Price 13.00
Wholesale: 10.00-0.00-0.00-0.00

Then you would assign a "1" to all of the wholesale customers for their pricing level in Admin>Customers. When they are logged in.... their wholesale price will magically appear. Yay!

Since Dual pricing uses up to four pricing levels, I put 0.00 into the other spaces. This probably doesn't have to be done, but I've always done it this way and never had any problems (and never tried it without the zeros).

So yes, Dual Pricing should work for you. You can also use the Quick Updates mod, enable it to work with Dual Pricing, and you can update all of your prices much faster.

Craftzombie,

As someone who hates to type anything extra, you can leave out the other zeroes if you want.

Thanks! Originally I had 4 levels, but when I went to 1 level, I just put the zeros. Since I copied and pasted all of this with Quick Updates, it was no biggie.

Hi Great mod, just 2 questions:

(1) How would I show both prices for both logged in and not logged in?

(2) How do you get it to show the retail price as taxed and the wholesale as not taxed?

I am setting up an Australian shop where we have to show GST prices - This script would work great where I can use "retail" as "GST" and "wholesale" as "No GST".
But I need to be able to display both all the time - either logged in or not.

Thanks for your help.

Just walk through every file and anytime you see a note mentioning the code has been changed for dual pricing then remove these "if" statements;

 if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) 

if ($customer_check->fields['customers_whole'] != "0") 

Also get rid of any functions that may be executed just to gather data for an "if" statement. Some basic PHP skills or trial and error will be needed in order to remove the right code with the corresponding functions.

For example...

//***********************************************************************
//***DISPLAY NET RETAIL PRICE IF WHOLESALE CUSTOMER IS LOGGED ON
//***********************************************************************
if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $customers_id = $_SESSION['customer_id'];
    $customer_check = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '$customers_id'");
 if ($customer_check->fields['customers_whole'] != "0") { 
     echo '<span id="retailwhole">' . ' Retail Price: '.$one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == '1') ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_retail_net_price((int)$_GET['products_id']).'</span><br /> ';
 }
}
//***********************************************************************
//***END DISPLAY NET RETAIL PRICE IF WHOLESALE CUSTOMER IS LOGGED ON
//*********************************************************************** 

Above (taken from tpl_product_info_display.php, line 67-75) will now look like this...

//***********************************************************************
//***DISPLAY NET RETAIL PRICE IF WHOLESALE CUSTOMER IS LOGGED ON
//***********************************************************************
 
     echo '<span id="retailwhole">' . ' Retail Price: '.$one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == '1') ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_retail_net_price((int)$_GET['products_id']).'</span><br /> ';

//***********************************************************************
//***END DISPLAY NET RETAIL PRICE IF WHOLESALE CUSTOMER IS LOGGED ON
//*********************************************************************** 

Next you can just edit the tpl_product_info_display.php file in order to change the wording to suit your needs.

Sorry if this has been answered before. I read most of the posts and also did a search but cannot find a post related to my problem.

I am using dual pricing but on entering multiple prices on the product information screen (as per the example 50.00-30.00-0.00-25.00) only the first price is actually stored. When entering the product page again the wholesale field contains only 50.00

Any ideas?

Zencart 1.3.8a with dual pricing version 1.3.2

When entering the product page again the wholesale field contains only 50.00

Not to worry, the field definition in the DB was wrong. I must have added it at some point in the past and did not change it to varchar when I added the dual pricing mod.

I've just downloaded this mod and I had a question that I don't think has been asked yet, or maybe I missed it in my searching. In that case, I apologize.

The ReadMe.txt states "Making these changes WILL make upgrading your store to new versions harder."

I've been working with Zen Cart for 2 years now and, although I love it and am grateful, I sure don't want to add any trouble. Question is: Can I install this mod taking advantage of the override system as with customization files?

For example:

File 'admin/attributes_controller.php' appears to be overwritten upon install.

Instead of overwriting, can I place the new file in 'admin/CUSTOM/attributes_controller.php' ?

Thank you for any insight into this question.
