Hi folks,

Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party add-on that will allow us to supply customers with a username/password or acount number that they can log in to the site with which will then allow them to see a list of products which we have selected for them (ones they normally buy) with their own custom prices which we have set.

We have Rep's which set up deals with customers and the prices are all different and would like the customer to be able to login and check their selected items and the prices and just select the ones they want and order them directly from the site or at very least just see what their current prices are.

I'm sure I could write something like this in PHP with ease but would like to have something thats integrated in to x-Cart

I have never heard of such a mod myself. Interested if anyone else has though.

This is what membership pricing does

Per customer? Yes, I guess you could define membership levels for every user. But how to display the custom list of products for that membership?

Oh, I guess you could define special products and restrict them to that membership... Very cool Steve, thanks.

And create a category specifically for that customer which is only visible to that membership. I use it and it works great!

Thanks guys I never thought about going down that route.

So if I just create a custom membership for each customer then setup a category with their products in it and set that so it can only be seen by that membership level?

I take it I can set specific prices for specific membership levels then?

What you will have to do is duplicate your products into this new category. IE Clone them. I found this worked easier for me. I altered the product titles to Fred to Fred-CN where CN was the customer name

Thanks Cpt.Crashtastic I tested it by creating a new test membership and created a new customer category and added their products in to this. I then went to these products and added a new price in that is only for that specific membership and it seems to work a treat.

When a customer with a certain membership logs in they can see their category at the top of the menu and this has their specific products listed with their specific prices.

Thanks for your help this works exactly as required.

My pleasure.

It's really quite useful. One thing to be aware of is that when you do a product feed or xml site map these products can be included.
