Preparation Checklist

Before you start this tweak, it's a good idea to run through our preparation checklist below:

• Read through the Getting Started Guide to get a better sense of how the Control Panel, Database and Front End store interact.
• Learn our recommended Simple Workflow. This makes the implementation process as easy as possible.
• Create a new Staging Theme for this tweak. This allows you to preview any changes before they are visible to live customers.
• The code snippet in this tweak doc uses Bootstrap 4, you may need to alter this code depending on what version of Bootstrap your theme is using. You can find out what version your theme is using here.

Coding Instructions

Step 1: Install the Customer Groups Add-on

In the control panel, navigate to Addons and install the "Customer Groups" add-on if it isn't already installed.

Step 2: Setup customer groups

Price/Customer Groups will be used to distinguish between 3 different customer types. In this example, we'll use the following setup:

• Visitors (Non-logged-in): Price Group A
• Customers: Price Group B
• Wholesalers: Price Group C

In the control panel, navigate to Customers > Customer Groups to set up these 3 customer groups.

Step 3: Assign customer groups

Navigate to Settings & Tools > All settings & tools > Customer Settings and classify the 3 customer groups (Visitor, Customer, Wholesale).

Step 4: Add the template logic

The logic A for hiding pricing and buying options for non-logged in customers is as follows:

[%if [@user:group_id@] ne [@CONFIG:DEFAULT_GROUPID@]%]
    <!-- Logged in customers: All pricing & buying options go here -->
[%/if%]

The following Logic B includes an [%else%] statement which displays a "Login for Pricing" button for non-logged in customers:

[%if [@user:group_id@] ne [@CONFIG:DEFAULT_GROUPID@]%]
    <!-- Logged in customers: All pricing & buying options go here -->
[%else%]
    <a class="btn btn-primary btn-block mt-3" href="[%url page:'account' type:'login'/%]">Login for Pricing</a>
[%/if%]

For some instances (eg. the product page), you will need to edit multiple templates in order to hide pricing and buying options so the logic used will depend on whether you want to display a "Login for pricing" button or not.

The following templates contain product pricing and purchase logic so they will need to be edited:

• Product Page
• Product Thumbnails
• Category Sidebar
