You can set several prices based on the minimum quantity purchased in each product: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...uct-form.html#prices

Not quite what I had in mind. I would need to levels, one that retail clients see only and the other for wholesale. the wholesale pricing is to only bee seen by authorized buyers and not public.

So you want limitations based on the user group. It is not yet possible.

That is something we want to work on this month with the support of Joomla ACLs by HikaShop.

I would prefer to not have to install anything else but simply have a user option pricing that could be admin controlled. Meaning that the store admin could issue the user either as a retail client or a wholesale client.

OSC, Zencart and many others do this and is called wholesale pricing

Yes. You will just have to have two joomla groups for your users. That is something supported by joomla. By default joomla 1.5 cannot create new groups and if you don't want to use the default groups you will indeed have to install an ACL component. But with joomla 1.6 right behind the corner, it will be possible to do all that without any additions.

I also need this ability. Can it be done with Community Builder from Joomlapolis? If so, would there be a tutorial? I am a business owner, not a developer.

Maybe the solution is to have wholesale buyers enter a coupon that is linked to them? Then I would need a new coupon for each wholesale customer. That doesn't sound practical either does it?

You could indeed use coupons to give rebates to the users to whome you give the coupons code. Now, it doesn't solve all the situations unfortunately.

Using coupons isnt exactly "clean" either. I want to implement something similar, but I have a feeling the people that manage the accounts will not enjoy seeing a "discount" for every transaction.

Hmmm.

How far away do you think something like this will be available? I am looking to implement HikaShop for a business but they will most definietly need different pricing for different user groups. If I can advise that it will be available further down the track, they will probably be able to work around it temporarily.

Not to sound rude, but could I get a response sometime today? I need the information for a meeting tomorrow morning.

Thanks!

Na that's fine, I was planning on checking it at night so I meant any time today. Thanks for the quick response. This will be very important for the business, having different prices for different user groups. Im thinking they may wait until this feature is enabled. Lets see how we go tomorrow! :)

Thanks for your quick response Nicolas!

On the product page, how do I show the "price for one unit" in addition for the "price for a minimum of x units"

That's what should be displayed automatically.
Could you make a screenshot of the prices of your product and one of the result on the product page so that we can see your settings ?

Your prices are ok.
In the options of your module/menu, could you change the option "Price display method" to "Price range" instead of "Cheapest" ?

That was it!

I was sure I did that already but it must have been in configuration->display->default parameters for products
I assume this will only affect new modules when they are created and not existing ones which makes sense.

Thank you

You're right, it's not really logical.

You can edit the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/currency.php near line 370 and change the code:

$rows[$k]->prices = array($min,$max);
to
if($min->price_value_with_tax==$max->price_value_with_tax){
								$rows[$k]->prices = array($min);
							}else{
								$rows[$k]->prices = array($min,$max);
							}

There is one instance of $rows[$k]->prices = array($min,$max); in line 331 and one in line 431
Do I replace both?
Thank you for the amazingly quick response
