Is there a way to show both prices whether anyone is logged in or not?

Hi Sue,
Not by default, but it's possible to do so by customizing the code. However, I'm trying to work out the scenario where this would be desirable. The only one I can imagine is where you will only sell at wholesale prices and wish to show customers how much they saved over retail prices, in which case use "Online Price", "List Price" and check "Show Savings".
Otherwise, showing your wholesale price to those who cannot obtain them is a bad idea as if people see a lower price than the one available to them they will feel put out and go and shop elsewhere.
I just did this myself over a "special offer" I was offered on some software where I was left feeling ripped off and shopped elsewhere.

Actually, its the scenario that I need for my system. We have member prices (wholesale) and non member prices (retail). I need both to be visible so that the members know how much it is without logging in and non members need to see the retail price and the wholesale price that might encourage them to become members in order to save.

Is it a simple code customization?

If you need this behavior across the board, then there are a few files to edit. In all cases, you will need to edit the portion of the code that looks to see if you are a wholesale customer and/or belong to a special Customer Pricing Category. You could edit it to simply show the wholesale price, removing all conditional statements.

Since there are a few files to edit, we recommend working with a developer to accomplish the code change.

Here is an example. In "pc/pcShowProductH.asp", locate:


          <% 'if customer category type logged in - show pricing

          if session("customerCategory")<>0 and (dblpcCC_Price>"0") and (pcv_intHideBTOPrice<>"1") then %>

               <p class="pcShowProductPriceW">

                    <% response.write session("customerCategoryDesc")& " " & scCursign & money(dblpcCC_Price)%>

               </p>

          <% else %>

               <% if (dblpcCC_Price>"0") and (session("customerType")="1") and (pcv_intHideBTOPrice<>"1") then %>

                    <p class="pcShowProductPriceW">

                         <% response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_prdD1_4")& " " & scCursign & money(dblpcCC_Price)%>

                    </p>

               <% end if 

          end if %>

... and replace with (all conditional statements are removed, wholesale price always shown, pricing category disregarded):


<p class="pcShowProductPriceW">

<% response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_prdD1_4")& " " & scCursign & money(dblpcCC_Price)%>

</p>
