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: [ www.hikashop.com/en/download/languages.html#modify](http://www.hikashop.com/en/download/languages.html#modify) Then, you could display the retailer price either in the description, or as a custom product field.
