Hide Pricing Until Customer Login?

Hello Forum Friends,

So, a client we're working with just let us know we have to hide prices in her store until customers log-in to their account. Is there a clean way to do this? Right now we're considering using Squarespace's membership options and hiding the store behind that, but that doesn't really work well from a new customer's perspective.

I'm hoping to find a way to just hide pricing, and change the "add to cart" button to "login to see pricing", but I understand this is probably a more complicated process than I think it is. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Hi @mattvrgs - I see on the site you linked there is a login for pricing feature. Are you able to share how you achieved this or any tips? Thank you!

I'm not answering for @mattvrgs, just chiming in.

How secure do you want these prices to be?

I ask because this method is only "hiding" the prices with some CSS. This means the prices are still visible on the page using the browser tools.

Hey @paul2009 - thanks for chiming in!
 

The prices need to be as secure as they cannot add anything to cart until they are logged in for pricing like @mattvrgs seemingly solved on the above site. They’ve managed to keep the native checkout experience on Squarespace as well and it’s looking pretty seamless.
 

Through lots of deep diving, I found this old post, and I was shocked to find someone managed to do it in Squarespace. Just curious what script or plugin or code may have been used To get the ball rolling 🙂 Thanks!

I'm happy to help but can you define 'secure' for me? 

When I'm dealing with requirements like this from clients, they must usually follow strict T&Cs that dictate that prices must not be published on a public website and/or may only be shared with clients, so I'm just checking if this is the case here.

In the example above, the prices (and the add to cart button) are still on the page, which means they can be viewed/clicked by anyone who knows how to use browser tools. That said, anyone can create an account for free, so there is nothing to prevent anyone viewing the prices or making a purchase; they don't need a consultation first. But perhaps that is good enough for your requirements?

@paul2009 - thank you so much for your help with this! Noted on the above and thank you for clarifying.

Correct, anyone can signup and the only requirement is the act of creating the account to view prices. Let me know if this is possible and any tips you have for setup. Thank you! 
 

Separate question, out of curiosity for any future projects, is a more secure option preventing browser tools from viewing pricing info or adding additional requirement steps to create an account achievable? 
 

Many thanks!

Sure. Can you provide me with a link to the products on the site?

Pages protected by the Member Sites add-on cannot be circumvented.

Just received them and will get these loaded today and I’ll send you a note back asap! Thank you so much! 
 

One more random question, can some products have prices listed and others login only? Or will they all require login?

That’s what I was thinking with Member Areas - thank you.

If the code is written that way, yes. For example, you could add a tag to each product (when you are adding it using the Product Composer) to indicate that the price should be hidden.

@paul2009 - Awesome! 

I've gone ahead and added in three products with a $0 price for now that would require login. The fourth product with a price would not require login.

Let me know if this is enough to start things and any questions.

Thank you so much!
