Which version of HikaShop products to buy?

Hi guys.

I've decided on using hikashop essential/business + hiramarket.

Question 1: [strike]What I'm wondering about is whether I will need 'business' for hiramarket FE, as hiramarket FE states "Full ACL system: limit the rights of the users in the front-end edition" but only 'business' has "Compatibilty with Joomla ACL system". [/strike] Seems like the business edition satisfies another need of mine -- handling of whole sale prices, so moot now.

Question 2: [strike] Say I want to sell coffee bags. It comes with various roasting types (light, medium, medium-dark, dark) and weight (250g, 500g, 1kg,2kg). Im kinda new to ecommerce so correct me if i use the incorrect terminologies. But the roasting types are attributes that don't affect the price, but when I change the weights I want the price to change. The more heavier it is the more expensive it should be! This should be possible in the paid versions of HikaShop, but how easy is it to implement?[/strike] Looks easy .

Thank you

Hi,

Q1. That's right, the ACL on prices is provided by HikaShop Bussiness.
HikaMarket have his own ACL system but it's to set the rights on each elements that store managers (or vendors) can access.

Q2. Using variants (characteristics) you can affect the price (and quantity) ; using item custom fields you won't affect the price (or quantity).
When you got the concept, it is not complicated
