"see my discounts" button/feature that shows specified products for logged in individual customers.

Hi, 

 

As the title states - I'm looking for an app, or a feature that makes it possible to have a button where i through backend can choose what products are being shown when pressing that button to logged in individual customers.

 

To clarify - I want to make it possible for my b2b customers to log in to my website, and then have a "favorites list / special product prices list" that i choose for them. Let say i have a business customer where we agreed that he would have a special price on say 5 products - i want this specific customer to have a "short cut" to get to those specific products, where they are all in the same place - with said special price.

Now the tricky part is - i want to be able to do this with multiple customers.

 

To maybe simplify it:

 

1 button will show a collected product list.

when customer A logs in and clicks the button - i want him to get to a collected list with product A B and C

when customer B logs in and clicks the same button - i want him to get to a collected list with product D E and F

when customer C logs in and clicks the same button - i want him to get to a collected list with product A E F.

 

I've looked through some wholesale apps and b2b apps - but they all seem very either or. either you can show ALL the products - then whats the difference between b2b customer and non, besides % discounts.
OR - they have the option to "only show specified customer products" - which then removes every other product on the website, and only shows the specified products.

 

I hope someone can help 🙂

 

Kind Regards Alexander /miniservietten

Hello @miniserv!

 

Thank you for such a detailed description of what you're looking to do - I can see exactly where you might have a problem if you're look for a B2B app specifically. 

 

To make this simpler, I had a look in our Shopify App Store for something with this kind of functionality, but factoring out the B2B aspect. I found a couple of options here, but what you choose depends on what you prefer - do you want the customer to choose their favourites, or do you want to do this yourself manually?

 

  • If you want the customer to choose, I recommend the Wishl Favourites Wishlist app, which will allow customers to add their favourite products to a list and come back to them easily (a shortcut as you mentioned!). They have a variety plans, for which you can see the details in the listing as I linked it. 
  • If you want to set manual recommendations for customers, I suggest the Personalized Recommendations App.

I was unable to find any apps that are totally free with these functions, and I understand that paying for an app every month may not be ideal. If you prefer to do a once-off payment instead, I would recommend to contact a Shopify Expert. Shopify Experts are people who work externally to Shopify and charge their rates based on the work that they do. They would charge you for implementing this as a custom feature, if you wanted to do it that way!

 

You mentioned that you would also be interested in the customer only seeing the products you want them to see:

This is something that could be achieved with a different app (which is also a personal favourite of mine!) called the Locksmith App. This app allows you to restrict content on your store based on conditions such as customer tagsgeolocation and IP address, as well as a possibility to create custom conditions if the above don't suit. This might be helpful as all of your customers have to have an account anyway, so if you did opt to add tags, you could set what is available for each customer to view that way! 

 

Please do tell me a little bit more about your products and what kind of businesses you're selling to, I might be able to offer some other tips for you here!

Hi Lana, 

 

Thank you for your quick response and help!

It looks like your suggestions doesn't quite hit the mark - i dont wanna recommend items for users.

I want 1 nav button take the logged in user to a section where they see a collected section of products which i have dictated they see.

 

Ill try to explain through a few pictures 🙂 maybe that'll help.

 

In the screen shot is a sister-site we're using.

I've tried to illustrate what it is - its basically a nav menu that takes you to a product list, where we through backend has dictated which product show up here.. 
And these products change depending on which customer is logged in..

So again - if customer A logs in and presses the "aftale priser" button - he might get 18 products shown if we have given him access to 18 products.

If customer B logs in and presses "aftale priser" he might see 20 different products, which has nothing to do with the webshop or customer A's custom products.

 

I feel like the more i write the more complex i make it sound.

Let me know if it helped!
