I’m kind of confused by cscart’s membership. It seems that on promotions, I can check “not a member” and all is fine. But on wholesale and shipping, I have to do either “all” or choose a membership. There is no way to exclude membership. This is what I see, and please correct me if I’m wrong.
wholesale:
If you use “all”, you offer this to everyone not logged in and also to members. In order to exclude members, you also have to create a wholesale price specifically for members. There is no way to NOT give them a discount (I know this sounds backwards, but I don’t want members to get an additional discount, just the general public).
Shipping:
If I set shipping to “all” and a separate shipping for “member”, the member sees both options. There is no “not a member” option.
The reason I want to set this up is because we offer free shipping to our regular customers. Our items are very light and is affordable to offer free shipping. However, when our wholesalers buy things at discount and buy 5 lbs worth of stuff, the shipping gets expensive.
Does anyone know how to port the “not a member” from the promotions section to the rest of the cart?
Thanks!!

Catalog > Discounts and Coupons - User Discounts
Have you tried setting up a “User Discount” to a specific membership and setting the Discount to “0”
And in my other post I explained how to do this through ‘Promotions’
Yeah, I know how you “feel” there are some things with this cart that you can’t do (true with most carts)…
Have you tried submitting a Ticket and getting a quote from Support?

I tried that, but then it nulls all discounts for the wholesalers. I haven’t submitted for getting a quote because I’m still in 1.3.5 so it doesn’t seem worth it.
By the way, I had them do a mod for 1.3.5 for $35. The same mod for 2.0 is $100!!

Don’t they say cs-cart 2.0 is supposed to be more easier for making mods???
Wow…
I was quoted $400 for this mod for 1.3.5…
Think I’ll pass…
I have been lobbying to have CS-Cart replace the membership dropdown menus with listboxes throughout since we first bought the software over two years ago. This would allow for the selection of multiple discreet memberships (and should include “Not a member”). I am not sure why they cannot understand how much more flexible this approach would be.

Jesse,
I tried the code above to hide membership and it would not allow unregistered users and it wiped out the registered users in my back end. I commented out the memberships code for now and it seems to work, although I don’t know what other repercussions this may have.

everytime they edit they’re profile you will have to set their membership back again as it defauls

Seems like a no-brainer to me that the current implementation is very limiting!
