Benefits |
| Discount Groups - Unlimited Custom Dealer Pricing Groups |
new - major feature |
The store currently allows you to
create user groups, but there is not a percentage discount level
assigned to those groups. We will seed the admin with a "VIP
Customer"
group, and wholesaler dealer groups named "Dealer 1", "Dealer
2", "Dealer 3" and "Dealer 4". Each will
be defaulted to a zero percentage discount. You can rename each group
and assign it a discount percentage. You will also be able to create
new ones. Customers are assigned to groups by you, and then they
can log-in to the store like a regular customer, but the pricing
store-wide will change automatically. |
- groups of customers can get a percentage discount on login.
|
| Mini-Stores Module |
new - major feature |
Now any store owner can create a "mall" within
Store-Logic using this new module. You can add and control mini-stores
in the control panel. Affiliate web site owners get their own login
to your store, and then they can choose your products that they want
to sell on their own web site. A generic site is automatically built
for them, and the control panel creates a dynamic link for them to
use so that they can embed their mini-store into their own web site.
All sales still come through you, but they are tracked when the sale
comes through an affiliate mini-store, and they you pay them commissions.
Since the header and footer is stripped for them, they can embed
it with an HTML iframe or use standard HTML frames. There is also
the capability to use company logos in the mini-store layout, for
affiliates that want a mini-store but do not have an existing site. |
- one store can have several"mini- stores" inside of
it.
- all sales go through the main store
- affiliate sellers have their own login
- affiliate sellers can track sales
- many web sites can syndicate your products.
