Some e-commerce store owners, especially wholesalers, need to hide prices until the user logs in. The pricelists for wholesalers and end-users are different and need to be displayed accordingly. In other words, they hide prices until login so that only logged-in users or wholesalers can see product prices and make purchases.
Unfortunately, Magento does not allow you to restrict pricing to logged-in users by default. There’s no need to worry if you’re in a similar situation! The good news is that iCreative Technologies have brought a solution to it.
Nowadays, providing a personalized experience for website visitors is a must. This necessitates consumers to register and log into your online store. For Magento 2, iCreative has created the Display Price After Login extension, which hides the product price and adds to the cart button for non-registered users. This might help you control the exposure of product prices on your website and entice people to sign up for your store. The store owner has complete control over pricing visibility and add-to-cart capabilities with this addon.
Why display price after login?
Many different types of stores want everyone to be able to browse their online store and view their product catalog while keeping prices hidden. Many times, these online store owners only want logged-in users to see prices, product options, and purchasing options. As a result, it’s critical to keep prices and add-to-cart buttons hidden from guest users.
Here are some examples of stores where the price is typically hidden until the customer logs in:
- Wholesale stores do not sell to the general public and only show prices to wholesale customers. The displayed price after login allows anyone to browse your inventory, but only pre-approved wholesale customers could see prices or make purchases.
- Manufacturers who publish product details on their website but only allow authorized resellers to purchase from them.
- Member-only stores require customers to join a club or purchase a membership before making a purchase. Allowing prospective customers to browse products without pricing encourages them to register for an account. This enables store owners to build an email list and more effectively retarget customers. Furthermore, it allows visitors to browse their products and enhances their store’s online visibility.
The ideal solution is to display your products publicly while hiding prices and buy buttons from logged-out users. You get the SEO benefits of making this important information available to everyone, as well as the business benefits of only allowing pre-approved customers to view or purchase.
Despite the fact that this Magento extension is primarily intended for wholesale stores, it is the ideal solution for any online store that wants to hide prices and disable purchasing options for logged-out users and guests.
Perks of Display Price After Login
There are many perks of using this Magento extension for your store website. A few of them are:
Price for Exclusive Members:
Companies frequently reserve their special products for their members only. You can limit access to your products to only registered users on your website. Only logged-in users will be able to see the price and purchase the products.
Leads Generation:
One of the most efficient ways to get leads is to provide a contact form or contact mail. The admin can collect information from clients through contact mail. It is extremely beneficial to firms that rent or lease items or services.
Price Sensitive Services:
Products and services with prices that fluctuate on a daily or weekly basis due to market fluctuations might be listed on the website. To obtain the current price of the services or items without logging in, the customer can click ‘Contact for Quote’ and request prices.
Working of the Display Price After Login Module
If you sell products and services whose prices vary depending on the needs of the customer, the module now allows you to hide the prices on your website. To obtain the price of the product, the customer must login or contact you directly.
