I would like to prevent non-members from purchasing a product in Smith Cart. Can this be done?

This feature is not currently built into the cart.

This can be achieved by using standard DNN permissions. My store only allows regsitered users to purchase items. The gateway page to the shop (i.e. the one that appears on the portal menu) is only visible to registered users, and all the child pages inherit that permission.

Cheers,

Jeff

In the latest version of the cart v2.96 to be released tomorrow there is a new checkbox in the cart settings titled "Add to Cart Requires Login". Check this box if you would like to require the user to login before adding items to the cart. If this box is checked and the user clicks the add to cart button on the product listing page or product detail page they will be directed to the login page if they are not already logged in.

Hi,

Thank you for the comments. Unfortunately in this instance, we require that everyone can access the shop and purchase most of the products, there are only a small handful of products which should only be available to members. As a result, the DNN permissions system cannot be used, and requiring a login wouldn't help (since both members and non-members have logins).

I think that the solution I need would be some sort of access restriction on the products themselves, which doesn't appear to be supported at present (admittedly its an unusual requirement).

Yes thats correct sounds like you need the restriction at the product level. The checkbox in the cart settings titled "Add to Cart Requires Login" is at the cart level and when checked would require all users to login before purchasing products from your store.

The other option which is a variation on what Jeff suggested in this thread is to create 2 stores on 2 different pages and add your public products to store 1 and your member products to store 2 but instead of using dnn permissions in store 2 you could check the "Add to Cart Requires Login" checkbox in store 2. If you want to have all your products in a single store we could customize the cart and add the "Add to Cart Requires Login" at the product level. If you are interested in a quote to do the customization please send an email to sales@smithcart.com.
