For Joseph who asked, "Do you have a solution for hiding categories from non-logged in users? I don't want people that are not logged in to see the Wholesale category. I have not found a way to do this yet. ideas? "


This is actually accomplished through your owners end of Bigcommerce. It seems to be that by now you've set up your customer groups and are familiar with the setting there. The first thing you have to do it make your your retail group is showing as a default so that even non-logged in guests are defaulted to the retail group. If this is set -up this way your customer groups page should appear like this: 
If It doesn't look like this then you should go into the Retail group settings and check the "All New Customers should be added to this group."

Once you've done this you can go back out to the main group page and set the customer group for guests:

Once you've done that you can go in and un-check the "Customers in this group can see products in all categories"

This will open a list of all your current product categories and you can deselect any you do not want the retail group to see. You can also do this part for the wholesale group if there are product categories you have specific only to them. 

Hope this answered your question Joseph!

Hi All!

I'm excited to announce my Bigcommerce Concierge service. It's a service designed to help you with the set-up of your new Bigcommerce web store. I know that Bigcommerce has loads of informational tips that make it easier with the set-up,  but I also know that doesn't always work for everyone, and not everyone has the time to set-up and learn how to run their new store. Not only that but maybe there are some customizations you'd like that Bigcommerce just doesn't have an easy way to do without having an extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. That's where the Bigcommerce Concierge comes in: it's a service designed to help you set up your new store completely based on your needs. From helping with the entire set-up to adding just a few lines of customized code; it's up to you!

As always if you'd like a quote, you can contact me using the contact form.
