I am about to set off on my second site .. it's going to be a more comprehensive one compared with the first (confidence building = problems ahead I have no doubt!). As well as using a couple of Drillpine add-ins I can see the client is going to need a variety of pricing options.
The site is for a high street retailer, who also operate a 'teacher discount' for everything (or maybe everything anyway) .. Can I allow a teacher to log into the site, and be presented with everything priced X percent lower than the normal retail price that is shown to non-logged in folks .. can things have different percentages, perhaps even grouping products from different departments together .. so .. maybe Product group 1 can be lowered by 10%, whereas Product group 2 might be able to be offered with 20% ... and so on .. ? This percentage, could really do with being based on a ex.VAT price (adding VAT at checkout) .. whereas the rest of humankind get a Inc.VAT shown if they're not logged in.
I'm assuming it be a calculated percentage (or do I have to work all the prices out on a calculator (!) and put them in as actual figures?).
ALSO ...At checkout, I would like the teacher to put in which school (or oganisation) they represent, as a non-optional field .. so it is less likely to be abused - maybe this info is checked against the customer log-in record. I hope this is possible too? .. might all be a bit more advanced than Actinic can handle .. but maybe not ..?
LASTLY ... and this might be really off the wall .. but is it possible to prefill the address based on their login, so the school (or whichever address they have initially registered .. for a private tutor for instance) becomes the delivery address (perhaps fixed & not changable) so if they are logged in as a teacher and want the educational discount, the stuff can only be delivered TO the school/registered address?
lots there .. sorry .. any advice welcome.
