different price per user
Hi
 
I am looking for an e-commerce module/application with the following features:
- the need to log in before seeing prices
- show personalized prices. Price sould depend on the user(group)
 
So it can be that prices are the same for everyone but for certain products the price is depending on the user (the discount he has negociated)
It would actually be an e-commerce application for B2B.
 
Is this possible with dotshoppingcart by default?
Or is customization (coding) needed. If so would the impact be heavy.
 
Thanx in advance for your reply

Re: different price per user
By default you can set up discount groups and assign users to the discount group. The uers in the discount group enjoy the same discount. Changing the price of the certain products based on individual users can be done by code customization. It should be very easy. We have a client (http://www.sd9000.com)  who is doing exact that.

Re: different price per user
Hi Luke,
 
The best way is to have a tag in customer to know them as Dealer or Reseller.
 
Then we can have a Global Disount Group Plicy 
and also Specific discount to each Dealer using a  percentage discount.
 
It is something that needed to be part of the DSC solution as you mentioned it is easy to code. 
 
What you will need :
 
1 -Customer Type Table (User Defined) and Their Discount 
- Customer (default)   0%
- Dealer                         10%
 -Reseller                      20%
 
 
A field in customer table repreent the type and also a private discount overrides the global group discount.
 
Regards,
