Trade Price

Post by niall08 » Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:09 pm

I know how to create Trade Prices through the Pricing Rules - But..

Our client wants to be able to update stock levels and price from the Inventory control in the Admin area.

As such, the product-by-product approach to Pricing Rules is too awkward for him - he wants everything on one convenient page.

Given that he wants only one alternative to the price (displayed to members of the Trade Group only) would it be difficult to create a custom field (in a Join table) to store this Trade price - and display this price whenever a member of the Trade Group logs in?

In this case I think you just need to update ConLib/ProductPrice control to take care of your custom price and it will fix it for complete store.

Thanks Mazhar - I can change the display price based on Group Membership..

But the price won't update with the Price Modifiers from Product Variants.. AND adding the product to the basket passes the Price, not the custom Trade Price..

Any idea how to achieve this?

Does this line:

Code: Select all

ProductCalculator pcalc = ProductCalculator.LoadForProduct(_Product.ProductId, 1, _OptionList, _SelectedKitProducts);
mean that the prices for the variants are compiled and that I am unable to have a custom Trade Price that can be dynamically decremented/incremented by the Variant Price Modifier?
