We have a few customers who are on a wholesale discount price. Is it possible to setup discounts (like a coupon code) that they are not able to participate in? It would be bad for us to provide them with a wholesale price and then a % discount on top of that.

Hi Graham, there is a parameter - Have you tried the following?

You can disable discounts for logged in customers with the wholesale attribute by adding the parameter

nowholesalediscounts=true

Thanks Dave. I knew I should have looked harder. You'd figure after over a decade I'd have known better. Thanks again.

Dave sometimes comes up with parameters that I've forgotten about.

Ah, I remember now the issue I had with this parameter. maybe you guys know a work around.

My wholesale buyers get the free shipping discount. This disables that for them. I can set the wholesale account as shipping exempt, but then those buyers can get the system to overnight something at no cost to them.

How can I disable promo codes for them, but not the free shipping option? I'm stumped.

- Graham

I was thinking about this Graham, if it's just codes you want to stop them from using, you can probably come up with something that will check if they are a wholesale (logged in) customer and (using javascript) hide (or disable) the input of the coupon code field in the cart pages.
I think this could probably be done in the cart.asp page, making it so it doesn't get wiped out by updates.
This would allow free shipping, but block them from using a code.

That's not a bad idea. It's too bad those things cannot be separated out. It seems like a somewhat common use scenario to give people wholesale pricing / maintain regular shipping options (free options) , but also not allow them deeper $ discounts.

I'll have to fiddle with it. It would probably be just as easy to code out the promo code part of the form in the cart page.

Dude, that was a great idea.

I just modified the inccart.asp

I encapsulated the promocode / cpncode inside an IF:
if WSP="" then
'cpncodestuff
end if

Worked like a dream. Thanks for the idea!

Great news Graham...
I'm glad I could help in some way.
