Webshop for both private people and business

  • Hi Guys

    I have a very specific question.

    Our company produce underwear our selves but we also sells clothes both from other suppliers. The thing is, at the moment we sell both of these things on our website, but when people buy 1 t-shirt from a brand we dont produce our selves, we have to pay a lot in transport of the goods so we will actually end up losing money when people buy only 1 tshirt.

    so then we talked about only selling to business, but most of the customers who buys our own brand are private people.

    Finally we have now come to a conclusion that maybe it would be a good idea to only let companies buy everything, and then private people can only buy our own brand that we have in stock always.

    NOW MY QUESTION:
    What is the best way to split the sortiment sold to companies and private people. some plugin maybe?

  • you can add the affiliate functionality to your store to fulfil the specified requirement. For this purpose you can add a plugin named ‘YITH WooCommerce Affiliates’ that can be downloaded from the following link:

    Thank you for the answer, although it was an affiliate plugin i was looking for. I need companies to buy from my site, but i need to set certain things on my webshop to only be available to buy if you are a company so that private people can only buy our underwear but companies can buy everything on our site. ??

    Hi hampmir, about 8 months ago you had the issue I do with a small square instead of basket icon. I have searched all over the web for a fix, just wondering how you resolved it.
    temperleystudio.com is the site with the issue.

    Thanks

    content: “\e015”;

    Is this CSS code or drop into php file somewhere?

    THanks

    its simply CSS code. Do you want to replace the word “basket” with an icon or what exactly do you mean? ??

    if you look on https://www.temperleystudio.com where the basket icon should be it has become just a stroked square?? I have no idea why either and searched the whole net with no answers of a fix for it.

    Even the sitemap in the footer has the squares!

    I don’t think @hampmir’s css fix will work for temperleystudio.com, it has a different problem. If you check the inspector console errors (right-click > inspect in Chrome) you can see that the font fontawsome-webfont.woff is not loading, so referring to a character in it using css won’t work.

    The reason the font is not loading is that the font location is given as https://www.temperleystudio.com/ and the site is located at https://temperleystudio.com/. These are different domains and the CORS policy prevents access to the font. CORS is a browser security policy that prevents one domain accessing resources from another.

    Domain references need to be consistent. I don’t know how you would achieve that, however if you get it wrong you could lose the site, so be sure to take a good backup before troubleshooting or changing domain settings. Start by checking that the domains at Settings > General, WordPress url and site url are the same. I would also check any domain references in the database and there are search and replace plugins that can do that.

    fantastic thanks for the reply, yea I changed the site to have www as a lot of people saids without that people can spot instantly it is a wordpress website.

    I have just backedup the site xml file, I will look for a plugin

    Thank you

    Looked on WP settiongs and the site and wordpress URL are Greyed out, butyea they are both different, WordPress Address (URL) has www but Site Address (URL) doesnt??

    will I have to do a find replace now as I can’t change the settings in WP Dashboard

    Lorro is right my fix dont apply for you site, i hope his solution will do ??

    However you really need to consider changing the colors you are using, there are no contrast between text and background, your menu is very dark grey and the background is black, i didnt even see the cart menu before you told me to look for it. you dont want to do dark grey on black, it simply does not work.

    Also it would be a good idea to change the font of the menu, this one looks very much like comic sans, which is every designers worst nightmare when people are using this ??

    – I am a graphic designer so this is where my strength lies, not in the actual coding ??

    Hi thanks for the advice and same here, I actually used google fonts for the menu but it didn’t change, I tried everything but that default fonts seems to be always there, Also wanted the font colour the lighter grey of the headings but for some reason when I coded it none of my settings actually applied on to the menu….lol

    Coding and sites are a bit of a headache for me, Much more comfortable with my InDesign hehe

    Did this site for my wife as it was gunna cost ￡3000 to have a company create one

    I think this one:
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/better-search-replace/
    has a “dry run” feature. You can see what’s going to be changed before its run for real.

    I feel you, same for me. All my coding skills are from “learn by doing”, im also much more comfortable in indesign and other adobe graphic programs ??

    I have to ask you, do you change the code directly in the theme? because if you do its going to be wiped every time the theme updates, you need to do a child theme ??

    Yea I have a child theme and created a custom CSS file where I made all my edits…

    Thanks Lorro will give that a try

    If you are good at coding Lorro How do I get the menu font and colour to change? What selector do I need to use?
