Only existing members should be able to purchase

Hi. My site relies on AEC to handle memberships. (We are a distribution company)

Once approved, these members (retailers/dealers) are offered many features and privileges.

We would like our store to be browsable to all visitors, with retail pricing displayed.

However, we would only like the pre-approved members (retailers/dealers) to be able to purchase in our store.

For any casual/non registered user, we would like to display something like: We apologize, but we do not offer direct sales, to find a retailer near you please click on this link.
If you are a retailer seeking membership, please click on this link to apply (links to the AEC membership part of our site).

Would this be possible with HikaShop?

Best regards,

Julian

Hi,

HikaShop can handle different prices based on the user group with the Business edition.
So you could have only a dealer price displayed only to logged in users and no price for the others. It's possible to not display the add to cart button when the product has no price so your unregistered users wouldn't see the dealer price nor the add to cart button.
Instead, they would see a text "free" that you can change to your message so that dealers can register via AEC by overriding that text in the language file as explained there:

Then, you could display the retailer price either in the description, or as a custom product field.
