====Defining wholesale prices on products====<br />
<br />
'''Wholesale Trading''' module implements a flexible discount program for volume purchase orders. You can set special prices for certain purchase amounts and certain customer memberships. You can specify as many special prices and conditions as you need.<br />
<br />
Follow the instructions provided below to define a wholesale price on a product:<br />
<br />
* Choose the 'Products' section from the 'Catalog' menu in the Administrator Zone.<br />
* Find the product and click on its title to enter the 'Product Info' page.<br />
* Click on the 'Wholesale pricing' tab to switch to the wholesale settings page of a product.<br />

====Setting up product access restrictions====<br />
<br />
Default LiteCommerce configuration makes the whole online store catalog available to all Internet users. '''Wholesale Trading''' module allows the store administrator to define product access restrictions for any product in the store. For each product in the catalog the administrator can specify members of which membership group(s) can see product information and price, and order the product. Follow the instructions below to define product access restrictions:<br />
<br />
* Choose the 'Products' section from the 'Catalog' menu in the Administrator Zone.<br />
* Find the product and click on its title to enter the 'Product Info' page.<br />
* Click on the 'Product access' tab to switch to the product access settings page.<br />

<br />
: Three sets of permissions are defined here:<br />
<br />
:* 'The product will be shown to' set contains the list of membership groups, whose members can see this product in the catalog in the Customer zone.<br />
:* 'The product price will be shown to' set contains the list of groups, whose members can see the price(s) of this product.<br />
:* 'The product will be available for sale to' set contains the list of groups, whose members can buy the product.<br />
<br />
: Select membership groups that should be given the corresponding privileges. Use <CTRL>-click to specify more than one group. Choose 'All' to make a certain privilege unrestricted.<br />
<br />
* Click on the '''Update''' button to save restrictions.<br />
<br />
Customers that do not have enough privileges cannot see restricted information or perform restricted actions.<br />
<br />
{{Note1|If the 'Enable direct addition to the cart for products with disabled catalog visibility' parameter of the Wholesale Trading module is set to 'Yes' (a check mark is placed in the corresponding field in the module's settings page), products which are not visible through the catalog can still be purchased by direct placement of a product to the cart. To arrange this, the store administrator must e-mail to a customer the HTML code of a link or button provided in the 'HTML links' tab of the 'Product Info' page. To place a product to the cart, the customer must access the URL supplied by the store administrator.}}<br />
<br />
====Defining product purchase limits====<br />
<br />
You can limit the purchase amounts of select products so that a customer could not purchase an amount which is lower than the minimal or higher than the maximal amount allowed.<br />
<br />
Follow the instructions provided below to define product purchase limits:<br />
<br />
* Choose the 'Products' section from the 'Catalog' menu in the Administrator Zone.<br />
* Find the product and click on its title to enter the 'Product Info' page.<br />

====Granting membership through product purchase====<br />
<br />
As a part of your store promotion program, you can choose to grant wholesaler or other group membership automatically to any customer who buys specific products. When a customer orders such a product and his order is processed and marked as' Processed', he automatically receives a membership associated with the purchase of the product for a specified period of time.<br />
<br />
To define a membership to be granted through product purchase, take the following steps:<br />
<br />
* Choose the 'Products' section from the 'Catalog' menu in the Administrator Zone.<br />
* Find the product and click on its title to enter the 'Product Info' page.<br />
* At the bottom of the 'Product Info' page find the 'Select membership to sell through this product' field and choose a membership for a drop-down menu.<br />

* In the 'Membership validity period' field, specify the time period when this membership is to be valid. Once the membership expires, the customer's membership level is set to the one he had previously. Setting this field to '0' (zero) means unlimited time membership.<br />
* Click on the '''Update''' button to save these settings.<br />
