Hi,

I am trying to set up a small shop i Joomla with HikaShop. I'm using the starter version atm. but if the essential or business version has the features i need, i will buy that.

1) I need to hide prices from guests. (A small edit in listing_price.php can accomplish this in the starter version)
2) I need to limit purchases to a specific registered user group. (Probably also possible with some easy php)
3) I need to add an extra field (VAT number) to the user registration form. (Can't figure out how to do this)
4) The admin needs to get an email whenever a new order is created. (I'm not getting one in the starter version)
5) The admin needs to get an email whenever a new user is created. (I'm not getting one in the starter version)

Is this possible in the essential or the business version? Is it possible in the starter version?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Hi,

1. You can set price based on usergroups, so no price for guests, only price for registered, then a small translation override is required, or as you said a view override.
2. Can be done with the previous restrictions
3. Via the menu Display &gt; Custom fields, you can add such kind of custom field in the user table.
4. That should already be happening, are you receiving the Joomla emails ? like the one for the registration or another ? We use the Joomla email system, so if you don't receive them, that's potentially because of your settings in Joomla or server.
5. This is more a Joomla issue than a HikaShop one.
