Yahoo Store - Hide/Display Pricing with login

[CalmBlueRage]

I realize the limitations with Yahoo Stores are big. Does anyone know of a way (or company) to remove/hide product pricing within Yahoo stores? I would then want to display pricing with an appropriate login.

Essentially, we are looking at creating a dealer site and want to hide wholesale pricing.

Thanks,

I did something like this a few months ago.
It was really smoke and mirrors.

The user had to register at, example.com to get a username and password to log into example.com.

Once they logged into example.com they were forwarded to storename.yahoo.com. Anyone can go to storename.yahoo.com, but it has a nofollow nospider.

Not very technically eloquent, but it was the best we could do on the platform. It is working.

I think password protecting an entire is possible w/ Y! Stores; however, I don't think that's what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like you want everyone to be able to see your site but hide the pricing from anyone not logged into your site.

This is definitely beyond the capabilites of a standard Y! Store, but you could try the following workaround..

Build your store as usual, but don't include the prices in your templates. This will give you your non-logged in view.

To authorize users, I would send them to a separate domain, let's call it the "user domain", as Minnapple suggested. However, I would then have a javscript on each product page on your Y! Store that makes a call to the user domain. If the user's logged in, the user domain would return the pricing info as xml, and it could be inserted into the page dynamically.

It's quite the project, but I think it's doable.
