Configure options for anonymous users

The final step in configuring customer access to your eCommerce site is to define what anonymous users see. An anonymous user is any one who is visiting your site, but has not yet logged in. You can either hide all pricing for anonymous users or you can configure a default pricing for them. Both of these procedures are described below.

  1. In Inform, go to File > Company > Inform eCommerce.
  2. Click Edit.

  3. On the navigation bar, click Options.
  4. On the Pricing panel, select the Hide Pricing Before Login check box.
  5. Click Save.

    Inform ERP removes default pricing from the eCommerce site. Users can browse products but will not see pricing until they log in.
