I am trying to understand access levels, and if this could be a solution for my needs.

We have different "Groups" of customers who are ordering personalized apparel. I want only Group 1 to be able to view the products in the category Group 1, because all products in Group 1 are customized with info from group one. Group 1 will identify themselves by entering a password that has been distributed to only their group. Group 2 should only be able to view products in group 2. and so on. They should not be able to view items between different groups because pricing will be different.

I can't seem to find anything explaining access levels in detail, would the business version with access levels be able to do what I am describing above?

Hi,

Access levels use joomla user groups to restrict access to products or categories.
Suppose that you have a product A and that you only allow it for the user group B.
Then, all the users registered in the user group B will see product A and others won't.
It can also be configured per category, etc.
That can be done with the Business edition of HikaShop.

HikaSerial, another extension that we sell on this website, has a "consume" mechanism where a registered user can enter a code and then, based on the configuration of the "Group consumer" plugin of HikaSerial, it will add the user automatically to the user group defined for that code. Codes (or serials as they are called) can be managed in HikaSerial.

Thus, by combining both systems, you could have a system like you want.
