Highlights

  • Products only visible to defined customer groups
  • Products only visible according to specific rules
  • Unapproved items do not appear in searches, listings or via deep links

Features

  • Release of articles/products for specific customer groups or rules
  • No visibility without the appropriate customer group in the listing (product overview) or in the search
  • If a user knows the deep link and is not logged in with the correct customer group, they will receive a 404 page
  • Exclusion from sitemap can be selected

Functionality

Products are only visible if they have been approved for the desired customer group(s) or rule(s).
If one or more products have not been explicitly approved for certain customer groups or rules, the product:
  • cannot be found in the search
  • cannot be found in the listing
  • cannot be accessed via deep link (404 page is displayed)
Authorised users who are in an approved customer group and/or to whom the approved rules apply can see and access the product in the shop as normal.

Info:

The "release" of the customer groups is done directly with the corresponding product in the admin area

or directly at the customer group in the admin area settings -> store -> customer group -> available products


Update from plugin version 2.1.x

Adds a new plugin configuration: behavior if no customer group is selected for release

  • ACRIS Standard (Release of products only if customer group is entered in the provided field)
  • Release without customer group assignment (If no customer group is entered in the provided field, then the product is automatically released for ALL customer groups)


Import via API

The released customer groups can of course be imported via API.

The following example describes how customer groups can be released for a product via the Sync API:


[
  {
    "key": "write",
    "action": "upsert",
    "entity": "product",
    "payload": [
      {
        "id": "21ec43c9182c4c9abfd3b8dbeef5ec1c",
        "customFields": {
          "acris_customer_group_available_product_exclude_sitemap": true
        },
        "customerGroup": [
          {
            "id": "cfbd5018d38d41d8adca10d94fc8bdd6"
          },
          {
            "id": "d9943bfd240f472084907c468c692075"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]


In the example, two customer groups (UUID cfbd5018d38d41d8adca10d94fc8bdd6 and d9943bfd240f472084907c468c692075) are released for the product with UUID 21ec43c9182c4c9abfd3b8dbeef5ec1c via the Sync API.
The additional field acris_customer_group_available_product_exclude_sitemap determines whether the product should be excluded in the sitemap or not. "true" means an exclusion of the product in the sitemap.

The installation of the plugin is very fast and uncomplicated.

  • Plugin Manager via Settings > System > Plugins
