We need to process sales for wholesale customers. Wholesalers have products design and offered only for them and not the general public and only wholesalers should see these items/prices. Aditionaly, they can put invoices "On Account" but the general public CANNOT. 

What is the best way to handle Wholesale customers and requirement above?

I think the best way to handle your wholesaler requirements is to create a separate page with a buynow module on it that only users in a "Wholesaler" role can view, That way the general public will not be able to view the wholesaler pricing. Additionally, you can configure the wholesaler buynow module with the PO payment method which would allow wholesalers to purchase "On Account". If needed, you can rename the PO label to anything you like by changing the value in the step 2 resx file.

Thank you for your reply. That sounds like a great way to proceed.

I am assumeing this by placing the BuyNow Module on a Wholesale Page That I am now mangaging two entirely separate stores with no cross-over what so ever with the Retail Store and they should be treated that way? Its own Detail Module? Its own Mange Orders Modules? Its own Inventory of Products? Store Admin? Etc.

Hi Brian,

Yes, each BuyNow Module will remain separate unless the following "Share" options are enabled:

At the Category Level – If the share checkbox is checked for a particular category the category will be displayed in all product catalogs on any pages where you have added the shopping cart module. If the share checkbox is not checked then categories added to your first cart module will remain separate from categories added to your second cart module.

At the Product Level – The “Share” checkbox only applies if you have added more than one cart module on different pages. This feature is used in situations where you want multiple product catalogs on different pages of your website. For example, if you are selling books and computers on your website and you wanted to have one page dedicated to books and another page dedicated to computers. If the share checkbox is checked for a particular product the product will be displayed in all product catalogs on any pages where you have added the shopping cart module. If the share checkbox is not checked then products added to your first cart module will remain separate from products added to your second cart module.

Product Template Fields – The share flag allows you to share product template fields among multiple instances of the Smith BuyNow module.

Thanks,
