Hi guy's,

I'd like to have my store so that only logged in/registered members can see the add to cart buttons, is this possible?

It would work so a non-member/guest can view products but cannot buy unless they are logged in. Once they log in, the buy now buttons will show.

I want to use a paid membership plugin (e.g membership-pro) so only paying members can log in to buy products.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

There is no parameter in Virtuemart backend that will let you hide the "add to cart" for non-members.
Because practically it doesn't make any sense. But in your situation looks different and it does make sense.

There is an option in VM Backend to hide prices from un-logged, but not for add to cart button.

But you can do this trick. It eventually hides the "add to cart" button not-logged (non-members)

1- Browse: VM Backend > Configuration > Pricing
Unchecked this option: Show call for price, when the price is empty

2- Open any product:
And change the "price appearing" to "-default-"





in this dropdown:
-default- group means: Registered users (members)
-anonymous- group means: non-member

In reality, you are hiding the price for that product from "non-members" and "call for price" button will be replaced with "add to cart" button. But since you have disabled the "Show call for price, when the price is empty", so nothing will be visible for "non-member"
But this will also hide the prices though. I don't know if this will work for you, since you just need to disable the "add to cart" button.

This is what you are capable of doing with default settings. To go beyond, you would need some hard coding in PHP files, which is not covered by our free support, because it is a custom modification.
