purchase in the store only to users with a password

[allisio]

I would need to make possible the purchase in the store only to users with a password that will provide me and that will be the same for everyone. So without the password provided by me, you can not buy. Thanks for your help.

If you disable guest checkout, then by default only users have an account can place orders

 you can change the order preference at back office 

- Preferences - Orders tab

I know thanks. But I need that only customers who I give the password (equal for all) can buy in the store. If I do as you say, anyone can buy, after registering.

I think you will need come customization to make this happens. It depends on how you want to control the access of the page. For example if you need to prevent user to access all pages before enter password? Or just the pages of order process? And how do users know your password?

Thanks for the reply. I'm happy if customers can see the whole store, but do not have be able to buy until I have given them the password. It should also be fine even if customers can not see anything if I did not give them the password.

Either way you will have to make some custom changes to do that.

 

If you want to block all pages, then you just make change to FrontController.php file. Otherwise you just make changes to OrderCntroller.php.

 

Please use class override to make your changes in a new class file instead of modifying prstashop core files.

Thanks for the info. I would block the whole site, so that it is accessible only with a password that I do (FrontController.php files), but I'm unfamiliar with php programming. Can you please give me some other indication on the way forward?

since you will also need to create a popup page(window) allow user to enter password and save it to cookie.I do not think it is a simple change. and also I do not know how will you manage the password. So it is difficult to give you more detailed instructions or coding, if you do not understand coding, you may need to find someone else to help I think.

from technical point of view - it is possible. This feature requires core changes. In this case it will be necessary to create modification of order controller

where in init function script will check if password was provided (and if it is proper) or not. And depending on result of this condition - allow to order or not.
