Your online shop can be setup to show the retail prices. However, you can also setup your shop to show the 'wholesale' prices as soon as a reseller/wholesaler logs in to the shop. The discounted reseller pricing are only displayed once they are logged in.
Your resellers will have a username and password – they will need to click on the LOGIN button on your website, As soon as they’ve logged in, the prices will change from retail product prices to reseller discounted prices.
Different discount levels can be setup.
Checkpoint: Your products must have "Product Code" - a code which allows grouping products based on a specific type. You can have multiple products with the same "product code".
Depending on how the merchant wants to control Reseller Tracking, the following options are not mandatory but can be enabled:
- Stop Access to Website without password – customers must sign in to enter the shop
- Show Prices Only to Members and Resellers – customers must sign in to see the product prices on the website
- Only give Reseller Discounts to resellers - resellers will only receive "reseller discount" based on original product price - "this option also applies to shop "Members"
Stop Access to Website without password: This option is not relevant for Reseller Tracking, as the Signup link is always disabled. Resellers must be added via the GlobeCharge function Add Resellers
Show Prices Only to Members and Resellers: When this option is ticked anyone who visits your online Shop will not be able to see any prices unless they login. This is useful for websites intended for Wholesale customers only
Only give Reseller Discounts to resellers: this option also applies to shop "Members"
When this option is set, Resellers only receive reseller discounts, they do not receive any shop wide or product discounts in combination with their reseller discount.
e.g. There is a Shop wide discount of 25%, when this option is ticked the Reseller does not get the Shop wide discount of 25%, the reseller only gets the discount that apply to his /her reseller account.

Discount Settings for Individual Reseller: note that different resellers can have different discount levels
The discount settings above are the default settings that apply to all resellers; however you now have the opportunity to add, remove or updated these setting for this reseller.
For example, you do not want this reseller to get DISC3 - so you simply remove it from this screen. This means that even though DISC3 is setup in Shopfactory this customer will never receive 15% off on those products. He will only receive the "all others" discount instead (if that has been setup). In the example above if you remove DISC3 he will only get 2.5%. You could simply change the discount amount for DISC3 instead.
