[ic] Newbie: Wholesale vs Retail

[Ian C Melville]

Hi Everyone,

First off I=92m brand new to Interchange 4.8.3 having just been =
introduced
to it last week by my new hosting provider who facilitated an auto
install of the foundation store. I can say so far that its simply
teriffic and light years beyond the perl cart I was developing up to a
few weeks ago! I'm also enjoying this mailing list and its valuable
posts immensely.

I have one question that so far I'm unable to answer myself and it
concerns resellers (actually I'm having a tax problem also but maybe
I'll solve that myself before clogging the bandwidth <g>).

I am creating a retail catalog by customizing the foundation store and
this will be my business -> consumer site. Since we also sell business
-> business (B2B) I'd like to create a store (maybe a separate IC store
I can even give it sub-domain like 'resellers.mystore.com') that needs a
pwd to be accessed by members only. I know some of this functionality
exists already with 4.8.3 because I'm entering wholesale prices but how
do I actually create a separate store for use by members only? Or
perhaps use the same catalog but require a pwd for members to gain
access to wholesale pricing? Which do you think is better?

Can anyone give me any advice on how to go about this?

Thanks & Regards!
