Currently there is no functionality available to have different prices automatically appear based on who is logged onto the website. The best way to have discounted products or a different product selection is to have a copy of the shop with copies of the products suitably edited for your member users.

In order for users to Login to the website a clear "Login" button will need to be created. If this does not already exist please contact your Account Manager to discuss the options.

In order to set this up it is recommended to read through the guide to Set up restricted content.

In relation to each part of the guide above:

Part A: Setup Your Client Groups

1. These will be the titles of your member groups
2. For example if you want to offer seperate pricing for Stockists, VIP members and the public users of the website, "Stockists" and "VIP members" will need to be set up as seperate Client Groups.

Part B: Link Client Groups to Client Records

1. Ensure that all Clients in your database are allocated to the correct Client Group so they have access to the correct content you have set up for them
2. Under the field “Client Group” allocate to your new Client Group ie "VIP members"
3. Ensure the clients have a username (or email address if this is being used in place of a username) and password. If not allocate them one now.

Part C: Create a Restricted folder

1. In this case this will be the first level folder "Shop Online"/ "Shop" etc
2. This folder may be copied from your existing content
3. In the Client Access tab select Display for specific Client Group users only and select the new Client Group to restrict this to.
4. Specify in the Location tab to place this folder somewhere obvious, ie near the login button so the user will be able to see it when they are logged in
5. Update your current/public Shop folder in the Options tab to Hide this content on all navigation when logged in only
   1. This will ensure the user will not see multiple Shops when they are logged in

Part D: Insert content into the Restricted folder

1. This will be your shopping categories / sub categories and or products themselves
2. These may also be copied from your existing shop content
3. When editing these new products ensure to edit the price
4. On the Location tab deselect any existing selection and select the new shop folder only

Part E: Conduct test to ensure everything is set up correctly

1. In your Client Record allocate yourself to the new Client Groups you have set up in Part A
2. Login on the front of the website
3. You should be able to see the new Shop with all the products you have created, with all the specific product pricing

Remember that copied content will automatically hide from the main navigation and also from any folder listings.
