Is there a way to not show pricing on my products due to M A P pricing(Manufacturers minimum pricing allowed) When in fact I can sell for less...I cannot show the lower price on the site....but I can allow the customer to click checkout and then see the reduced price there, and of course then allowing them to clear the basket.

I have searched the manual and cannot find any reference to this.

Thanks for the help

baddawg,

You will have to have the map pricing done by a developer.

Just an idea. I have removed the "list price" from showing up on my site all together. It was just a matter of hiding the code in which the "list price" is shown. I can't remember what that code was or what page I had to edit, but I know it can be done.

If you had MAPs on all of your products and wouldn't need to show the "online price" for any of the products except during checkout then, I guess you could probably just edit the code to simply never display the "online price" just like I removed the "list price" from all of my pages and even the ajax bubble. The pages you'd need to edit would depend on how you've decided to display your products in categories and the actual product pages.
I don't think you'd need a developer, because I am not a dev. and I was able to change the code with some guidance. You just need to know what code you need to change once you have the pages ready. Make sure you always back-up the files before you change them.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Hope that helps and makes sense.

Oh, also I think maybe this post would be good to read, for more ideas on how to show or not show the pricing. Brainstorming! You could change the text which says "price" to whatever you want.  http://www.earlyimpact.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=906& ;KW=list+price

Thanks Chris...fidjiti,I sell many different product, and only the electronics that I have started to add need MAP pricing, everything else I am ok on, so no need to MAP everything.

I will hit Elance.com to find someone to do this.

Thanks for the input

Check this out. It was a simple "if then statement" and making sure the online price is lower than list. I display the list with strike-through and the discount and hide the online-price.

You have to edit viewprd.asp and viewcategories.asp. Look for list price and online-price.

The MAP issues seems to come up for a number of people. Myself included.

It would be a good feature for Product cart to add a MAP 1/0 flag, as standard, to the attributes for each product and then have an if clause in the viewprd.asp and viewcat*.asp file. If MAP =1 then read MAP message if not show price etc. Simple but useful. 

Custom coding requires adding an extra table, which is more complicated than needed.

Just my opinion.
