Differentiating prices by user groups in Phoca Cart (without using discounts)

Post by amax2 »

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible in Phoca Cart to set two (or more) different prices for the same product, based on the customer’s user group (for example, a price for “Standard” customers and another for “Resellers/B2B”), without necessarily using the discount system.

I’ve looked through the configuration and the product tab, but I can’t seem to find where to add dedicated prices for different user groups. Does anyone know if this functionality is natively supported by Phoca Cart and, if so, how to set it up properly?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some guidance!

I'm looking for something similar. Here's what I need:

Products always have a general price that visitors see when they first arrive on the site.

- I have customer groups, and I want to set prices for each group individually. This is not a fixed discount or percentage off – each customer group should have a unique price for each product.

- I would like to be able to set a direct sale price for a product for a specific period. For example, if the product's regular price is 10.99€, I want it to automatically change to 9.77€ from March 26 to March 29. Ideally, I would like to do this per customer group as well.

In this case, I would also need to see the discount amount and the discount percentage.

Is there any way to directly set a timed sale price for a product?

That's great, thanks
How about timed prices, and directly discounted prices?

Hi Jan,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I wanted to update you on the situation. I tried following your instructions:
In version 4, unfortunately, every time I clicked on the link you suggested, I immediately got an error and couldn't proceed.

What error message are you getting and why version 4?
Jan's screenshot is for Joomla 5 and Phoca Cart version 5.0.0

Kind regards
