Why hide price if not logged-in needed?

Prevent price being exposed to opponents

It is challenging to avoid competition in many industries and fields. However, it can be minimized when you remove prices on your store sites and only allow the real clients who have the ability to login to view product price.

Thus, the rival distributors cannot investigate your price and lure your familiar customers at better pricing.

Increase customer retention

When customers are really interested in your products, they would like to see its price and willing to create a new account on the store sites. After all that time spending to form an account, they will try to see and learn more about the item.

Also, the convenience of having an account in your store sites will help shoppers have a better shopping experience such as purchasing history, check out information, etc.

Utilize customer data to market them

Furthermore, the required personal information will provide valuable customer data. This information will come in handy when you apply email marketing. You can send follow-up email, event emails, reminder email, rewards email, etc. In the content, you can add in materials emails with a welcome email or up-sell/cross-sell suggestions or sales promotions.

After all the benefits I have mentioned in the section above, you must be dying to know how you can set view price by login with Magento 2 Hide Price extension. There are two ways for you to place it in motion:

Step 2: Configure the displayability with the rule on the frontend in the What to Show section
Step 3: Create conditions to proceed with the rules on your products in the Where to Show section

The main point is where you can set customer login, right? This feature is located in the What to show section. You will understand clearer viewing the below picture:

However, if you do not want to apply Inherit from Rule, it is possible for you to disable it and implement other rules with login for price. For example, you had set a rule to apply Popup a quote form with category Trousers. But for some products, you want customers to view the product price right after they login then you need to choose the name of the specific rule which contains login to view price.

On the frontend, the price will show a button that redirects buyers to register/login to view the price instead of viewing price directly. The button flexibly shows on both the category page and product page. After the customer had log in, the price will be displayed usually on the store page.
