Multiple plans per product with HikaMarket

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.5.0
-- HikaSerial version -- : 2.2.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.8.10
-- PHP version -- : 7.0.31

The site has HIkaShop, HikaMarket, and HikaSerial Subscriptions installed. The test product has two prices - one for 'normal' users and one for 'dealers'. These prices are set using Joomla access groups.

We have set up two subscription plans. One for normal users and one for dealers and set the groups accordingly to match those set for pricing in the product.

When a dealer is logged into the site and orders the product, they received the dealer price. But two subscriptions are generated. One consumer subscription and one dealer subscription.

How is the best way to define subscription plans such that a dealer only gets a dealer subscription and non-dealers only get non-dealer subscriptions?

Thanks

I thought that might be the better solution. But I wanted to see if you had any experience with the two-subscription-plans-per-product situation. I believe we can easily implement the two product solution. The client had already set up the one product so I wanted to explore that before recommending the change.

Thanks Nicolas for the quick response.

If I understand correctly then, adding two subscription plans to one product is not intended unless you ALWAYS want both subscriptions generated? The access rights of the plans are not considered when a subscription is generated for an order? Is that correct?

The scenario is that there are retail users and dealers. Dealers get a special product price AND would have a different subscription price (which is basically bundled with the product price, so it IS the product price). If a retail customer purchases a product, the system current generates both a retail subscription AND a dealer subscription even though the retail customer user has no rights to the dealer subscription plan.

Thanks,

Thanks Jerome, but yes, I realize it has nothing to do with the price. The only reason I mentioned the price is that HikaShop applies the price based on the user access. This is not at all about the price. It is all about user access. It appears to me that HikaSerial Subscriptions was not designed to attach multiple subscriptions to one product IF the intention was that the subscriptions would be differentially applied based on the user's access rights.

I've already decided that I'm going to have to set this up as a retail product and a dealer product. That will allow me to attach the retail subscription to the retail product and the dealer subscription to the dealer product. At least the HikaShop products honor the Joomla access controls even though the subscription generation process does not. So I have a solution.

My reason for continuing this topic is to ensure there is no better solution than to use separate products. And to suggest that the subscription generation process needs to be upgraded to handle the Joomla access permissions which currently appears to not be the case.

Thanks,
