Hi,

I have a kind of a presales question that I did not find in this forum.

We have a company that is selling products to end users and to resellers.
We would like to give every product a price for end users and a second (lower price) for resellers.

We could have Resellers to log in to Joomla and become meber of a reseller group. So based on this membership Resellers should see the lowest price then and the rest of the world should only see the highest price.

One of the solutions that I see is with a discount per product and use of ACL but because there are lots of diiferent discounts for Resellers, this would be rather complex.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion?

Hi,

When editing a product, for the price part you can set many prices.
These prices can be restricted on user groups, so you can have one price for resellers and another one for "the rest of the world".

Hope this is what you was looking for.

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your prompt response. This is exactly what I am looking for.
I am using the Essential version now and I know that I can enter multiple prices for a product. It looked to me that this is used when customers buy a certain amount of products and get a discount then.
Is the option of entering multiple prices and restrict them on user groups in the Business edition? If so then we will upgrade to the Business edition. If not, I don't see where/how to configure this.

Regards,

Benny.

Hi,

Yes, to restrict prices to user groups, you need to use the "access level" icon of the prices and that is only available with the Business edition.
If you have the Essential edition, you can upgrade to the Business edition here:

Hi Nicolas,

I did install Business edition. Now in the product details I can show both prices (Gross and Net) for Partners that have logged in. Now I would like the lowest price to be preceeded by the text "Your net price is:". Is this possible and where do I put this text?

Regards, Benny.

Hi,

You can add a translation override for the key "PRICE_BEGINNING".
Or directly edit the view "product / listing_price" in order to have the desired display.

Hi Xavier,

When I make the translation override it gives me the same string for the Gross Price as well as for the Net Price.
What I would like to do is;
No preceeding text for the first price
Preceeding text for the second price that is only showed to logged in users.

So a logged in user should see both prices with the preceedig text only before the second price...

Hi,

Yes, translation overrides won't allow you to do that.
You'll need to edit the file "listing_price" of the view "product" for your frontend template via the menu Display>Views and add custom code in it to be able to do that.

I'm not much of a php programmer but as far as i see, the PRICE_BEGINNING is displayed outside of the loop. I don't see how I can make it depend on ACL or on the second price in the row. Could you please give a hint?

Hi,

You can do a php check on the price_access, if it's the price for logged in users display the message.
Something like: in the foreach.

Many thanks Xavier. The problem has almost been solved.

I inserted line 57 (bold line)

foreach($this->row->prices as $k => $price){
if($price->price_access != 'all') echo '<br/>Uw nettoprijs: ';
if($first)$first=false;

Everything looks fine now except for the Total line in the shopping Cart where this string ('<br/>Uw nettoprijs: ') is still inserted. Also when not logged in.

Any clue?

Try like that then:
if($price->price_access != 'all' && !empty($this->element)) echo '<br/>Uw nettoprijs: ';

I tried it but it does not change anything. It looks like when printing the Total line in the Cart, there is no check on ACL...???

I have added an image where not logged in. Here you see that the string is not present in the detail line but it is in the total line.
In the second image. you see that the string is present for each line. It would be okay with me when in the Cart this string would not be printed at all. So that it would only be printed on the product detail page.

Hi Nicolas
I have Public prices and Wholesale prices.
I'd like to display only one price (the Public price) on Product-Listings, and then both the Public and Wholesale prices on the detail page when the wholesale users are logged-in.
This is so the wholesaler can quickly see the Public Price.
At the moment the Wholesaler sees listings with the Wholesale price.
I don't understand how to make the Public price show to a Wholesaler on the Product-Listing, then both prices (Public and Wholesale) on the Product Page.
Product page is fine, but the Listing currently shows Wholesale prices when a wholesaler is logged-in.

What can I do to make the Listing show the Public price when a Wholesale user is logged-in?

Hi,

There is no option to do that.
On any page of the shop, the prices are loaded from the database based on the access level of the current user.
So in the view which display the product, only the price of the user groups of the current user are available for display.
So you'll have to customize the "listing_img_title" file of the "product" view via the menu Display>Views with custom code to load the public price from the database with a MySQL query in order to display it instead of the price loaded by HikaShop.
If you're a developer, that should not be a problem, otherwise, I would recommend to hire one for that small job via either our commercial jobs forum or by contacting our partners:

Thanks Nicolas
Happy to give that a go to develop my own skills a little bit further, but would struggle with forming the query statement.
Would you be able to start me off?

Hi,

You have to load the prices in the table #__hikashop_price for the product_id you're currently displaying.

Thanks Jerome
How would I reference the Public price for the current product, rather than the price the logged-in user would normally see?
