==Bulk Shopping==

When a category is set up for bulk shopping, all products in that category are presented to the store customers as a table.

{{Note1|If '''Product Options''' module is installed and a product has different options defined, each product variant is presented individually.}}

Customers can quickly add multiple products and their variants to the shopping cart right from the category page. Additionally, in the category page customers can review bulk prices and instantly calculate purchase subtotals.

'''To add products to your shopping cart:'''

==Buying Products at Wholesale Prices==

When special wholesale prices are defined on a product, the store customers can take advantage of buying products at the discounted prices, provided that they place a certain amount of that product in their shopping carts. In the case when wholesale prices are defined for a certain membership group, a customer must hold membership in that group in order to take advantage of the wholesale offer.

[[Image:lc-wt-24.gif|550px|center]]

{{Note1| For products with a defined purchase limit, the "Buy now" action redirects a customer onto the "Product details" page (this allows to avoid a warning sign being displayed that a product has a purchase limit and cannot be added to the cart directly).}}

==Restricted Product Access==

When product access restrictions prohibit your online shopping system from displaying product price to a customer, a message defined by the store administrator is displayed in the 'Price' field of the product details page.

When a customer who does not have enough privileges attempts to see restricted information or perform a restricted action, a warning message comes up.
