Wayde")* Hi, That is already possible with the Business edition of HikaShop. You can restrict products, categories, prices, discounts, shipping methods, payment methods to groups of users. More specifically, you will be able to restrict the prices of your hazardous products to only that special group of users. Then, on the product page, the add to cart button won't be displayed for other user groups and they will see instead of the price the "Free" text that you could override in the translation edition screen (accessible via the Languages tab of the configuration ) to what you want "Must Have Special Account to Purchase" Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzIxMTMzLWFjY2Vzcy1jb250cm9sLWxldmVscz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[warriorfullights](/forum/user/3286-warriorfullights "View warriorfullights's Profile")** - [![warriorfullights's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/3286-warriorfullights "View warriorfullights's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/3286-warriorfullights) Less More - Posts: 14 - Thank you received: 0 - - 15 years 4 months ago [\#21222](#21222) by [warriorfullights](/forum/user/3286-warriorfullights "View warriorfullights's Profile") Replied by *[warriorfullights](/forum/user/3286-warriorfullights "View warriorfullights's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Access control levels?](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/21133-access-control-levels#21222 "Hello, I have a feature question/request regarding HikaShop.

Will you be able to provide the step by step procedure on this? --- [ ![[img](http://imagicon.info/cat/5-47/bye.gif) ](http://imagicon.info/cat/5-47/bye.gif "[img") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzIxMTMzLWFjY2Vzcy1jb250cm9sLWxldmVscz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86555 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 15 years 4 months ago [\#21235](#21235) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Access control levels?](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/21133-access-control-levels#21235 "Hello, I have a feature question/request regarding HikaShop.

Wayde")* It's really easy actually. You can just create your product normally. Then, after you've added your price and saved the product once, you can click on the access level edition icon for the price and only select the groups which should be able to buy the product. Then, on the product page, the add to cart button won't be displayed for other user groups and they will see instead of the price the "Free" text that you could override in the translation edition screen (accessible via the Languages tab of the configuration ) to what you want "Must Have Special Account to Purchase". I invite you to try on our demo website.

Wayde")* Thank you for your response! I tried to do this in the demo. It worked at first, but I think the demo reset, and I tried to do it again and it didn't work. The price went to $0, but it didn't say free, it said $0.00 and you could still add it to the cart. I did go into the configuration and change the "Display 'add to cart' button for free products" set to "No". Also, when an unregistered user is placing an order, is it possible when they are submitting their address to have the button say "submit" rather than "register". I would like for customers to be able to ordering without any registration at all, so that there is a clear distinction between an unregistered guest who can purchase a limited number of items, and a registered guest with a "special account" who can order anything, including the hazardous chemicals. Thanks, I appreciate it! -Wayde Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzIxMTMzLWFjY2Vzcy1jb250cm9sLWxldmVscz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86555 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 15 years 3 months ago [\#21300](#21300) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Access control levels?](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/21133-access-control-levels#21300 "Hello, I have a feature question/request regarding HikaShop.
