Secret Deals, Exclusive Deals, Members Only, Restricted Access

Secret Deals, Exclusive Deals, Members Only, Restricted Access, VIP's only you have heard such terms before while shopping online.
To illustrate with an example consider having a website like Gilt.com which is restricted access to their product catalog unless you become  members of their site Or another scenario would be, a wholesale distribution Company and they want to show only certain products to retailers upon login and make them feel special about your program/offerings.

If your running eCommerce business and wondering wish we could offer such deals too. You want such features in your eCommerce website without spending way too much, your choices would be customizing your website by spending more $$$, right?

The good news with Interprise version 6.0 you can do secret deals with easy, no programming required, no need to spend a dime, just enable few preferences in back-end ERP and you could have all those secret deals and restricted access to your shoppers and look like a million dollar website.

Feature: Product Filters - That's right this new feature allows you to filter the products based on specific set of customers or group of customers whom you call VIP's.

Step 1: Create a new product filter let's call "Secret deals" from eCommerce --> Setup --> Product Filter
Step 2: Select the categories and products that you want to be restricted
Step 3: Now go to Customer profile (all those customers) who have access to this Secret deal and specify in the Setup tab and Contact tab --> Web option --> Product Filter tab
Step 4: Set the Application configuration preference "AllowProductFilter" to true indicating you want to enable that feature on eCommerce website.
Step 5: Surf your website those categories and products are not seen,  unless you login and then you get to view them.

You could always extend this feature and offer to all customers who register on your website or set of customers automatically by configuring your customer class template, so that way you don't have to do all those steps and get it going from day one, for existing customers maybe running a special SQL script in back-end would automate the process.

If you want detailed user guide how to enable this in Interprise then refer to Product  Filter online documentation from Interprise.
