DUAL Pricing v2

@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
}

@adb34,
The newest versions of Dual Pricing are made to work with ZenCart 1.5, so they have not been tested on older versions of ZenCart. That said, it is possible that it works - so you might want to try installing it on a TEST site. Make sure you backup files & database first. And, it goes without saying, but you should really upgrade to ZenCart 1.5 as soon as possible; it contains important security upgrades.

@vmchatt,
Integrating with Amazon is not related to the Dual Pricing module. Please post elsewhere in the forum.

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 #

Jackie,

I followed your advice and installed the "extra fields on customer sign up' and then used the the radio button code from the gender query as the model for changing one of the extra fields to ask whether the customer wanted a Wholesale or Retail account. I had a few issues that came up while merging some files but I finally got it working and I'm pleased. Thank you so much for your help. You really are making a difference and your efforts are appreciated.

Glad to hear it, thanks Tom!

OK I put the last requested under the wrong heading.

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

This is how you figure out things like this:

a) Go to the contrib's page:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=74

b) Look at the Zen Cart version associated with each version of the mod. You will see that Version: 1.9 (Internal version: 15) works with Zen Cart 1.3.9.

swguy is absolutely right; you should always check the contribution page to find out what versions are compatible.

There are older Dual Pricing versions that work with ZenCart 1.3.9, but they won't have all the latest fixes. The best scenario is keeping everything updated, including your modules and ZenCart itself.

Any estimate on the release of 2.1?

The latest version of Dual Pricing (2.1) has been uploaded to the add-ons section and should be available for download shortly:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=74

First I must thank you for this modification, as I have been looking for something like this for 1.5.0 for some time :-)

I have installed it but ran into a few problems, that I hope someone can help me with:

1. I have installed this plugin in a Norwegian shop, so I renamed all the "English" catalogs to "Norwegian" and translated the Language to Norwegian, but still my shop displays Retail and Wholesale price in English in the Product listing. I'm 100% sure that all Language files are translated both in admin and includes. How can I fix this?

2. TAX is added to all my Wholesale Prices. TAX doesn't show on a separate line in the shopping cart / check out, but the value is including tax (EX: I add a Wholesale price to 80 in admin, but in the shop it's displayed as 100).

3. Is it possible to display the price ex.Vat in Product listing, but including Vat in the shopping cart /check out? In Norway sales tax must be included on the invoice, but the customer will get it refunded.

I had a coupple questions about this add-on before installing it:

• Does this version of Dual Pricing support products which are priced by attribute? i.e. I want to offer wholesale pricing on certain product attributes but not on others.

• Do customer groups work with dual pricing? i.e. can I establish a wholesale price and also assign the wholesale customers to a customer group which has additional discounts? i.e. wholesale = $9.99 customer group offers 25% discount so they now pay $7.50?

Thanks for any advice or guidance you can offer.

@RoyM

Glad you have found the module useful.

1. The product listing unfortunately does not yet run on language files. You can switch the text in the actual file here: /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

2. Tax should not be showing up, could you provide a link to your cart so I can take a look? Please describe exactly where the price is incorrect (product listing, shopping cart, etc)

3. I'm not sure I understand the question, but you can make tax show up in the cart by restoring this file from your backup (prior to installing the plugin):
   /includes/classes/order.php

@nizernoj

• yes, attribute pricing is supported in the latest version (2.1)

• this module is not intended to work with Group Pricing. It is intended to replace group pricing for more granular pricing control. That said, you might try installing it on a test store to see if you can make them work together. I haven't personally tried it (since the module was originally advertised as being incompatible)

Thank you! This solved 1 and 3 :smile:

Regarding point 2:
The price is shown with vat both in product listing and product info. (and in shopping cart, but I want it to show there)

It sounds like you have a setting enabled so tax is added into the price. Try this: Configuration > My Store > Display Prices with Tax > false

Yes, you are correct. I just misunderstood how this module worked. I thought it was displaying prices with tax for regular customer, and without tax for wholesale customers.
Is it possible to have the wholesale prices without tax, but the retail price, and price displayed to ordinary customers, to be displayed with tax?

That is possible, but it would need to be custom-coded. I think you'd need to edit includes/functions/functions_prices.php (find the places in the code that mention taxes, and all Dual Pricing modifications are commented as well).

Of course, the easier way is to just display taxes on the checkout page only - although I realize there may be local laws that require you to display them differently.

Does the Dual Pricing module allow me to set several levels of wholesale customers? i.e. I have a few wholesale customers who purchase small quantities so I give them a smaller discount... and I have some customers who purchase large quantities.. so I give them a bigger discount..

Can I assign wholesale customers to different wholesale groups where each group has a different level of wholesale discount? Is this possible with Dual Pricing?

You don't need Dual Pricing to do that. You can have several pricing groups and assign specific customers to one or other group. All members of each group get a discount at a percentage set for the group.

Dual Pricing is for when you want to give different discounts for individual items to specific groups of customers, rather than a flat percentage for all items. I recall that you can set three prices per item, though I've never used it for more than two, so that may not be correct.

@hairydog thanks for the quick reply.

The way you describe dual pricing's features sounds like exactly what I need... I sell physical albums and MP3's.. I want to discount the albums for my wholesale customers.. but not the MP3's. And depending on how much they buy I give them a different discount level.. I am assuming that is what you meant by:

Can anyone confirm that I can set 3 prices per item (my products are priced by attribute) and then assign my wholesale customers to the different levels?

Thanks so much for your help.
