Maury Markowitz Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We sell a number of products through a conventional wholesale arrangement - registered dealers get one discount, everyone else gets another. I've put this in by uploading a single "bogus" price, then applying one discount to the dealer group, and a different one to all the other groups. However, there are a couple of products that don't work that way. These products don't sell under any discount and everyone gets the same price. They represent perhaps 10% of the catalog. Should I put these in a separate category and then special price the category? Any examples or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Maury, you could do a category discount that only applies to the guests/visitors/registered (non wholesale) customers. The price rule would be set at -10% for only those customer groups. That way, when your wholesale registered users log in, they will not have that *additional discount applied. Only the standard 10% off all products. In this way, both prices can be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price rule would be set at -10% for only those customer groups. That I have already done. Now I have some more products that *no one* gets a discount on. How can I do that without going to every product? Category discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes, the only way I know of by using the default back office is to do a category discount. You have more options for mass pricing options by using a store manager or other module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Markowitz Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ok I do think the Category pricing will work. I just need to know how to set up the Categories. I don't want any of this categorization to appear in the catalog, it should be entirely hidden. Should I set up new root categories for this? Can a product be in two separate "trees" at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi Maury, Yes, the product can be referenced in multiple categories. I'm not sure about "hiding" categories that have products in two different trees. You may have to play around for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Markowitz Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 it's not so much multiple categories as entirely different roots. is that ok? If so, that seems like a good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
