Credit Account & Restricted Products

[moamoa]

Hi,

I've a couple of newbie questions here;

1. Credit Accounts; is it possible to have an option where some accounts can be allowed to buy items without having to pay upfront. Then at a later date then can make a payment on their account?

2. Restricted Products; is is possible to enable a group/category of products to only be available to certain customers? ie make a customer group called A, add some customers to it, then assign a category of products to only be visible to group A customers.

If these are not possible out the box, can someone tell me if this type of change is trival or comples using the existing developer tools.

You'd have to develop an appropriate payment gateway and only make it available to customers within a certain group.

2. Restricted Products; is is possible to enable a group/category of products to only be available to certain customers? ie make a customer group called A, add some customers to it, then assign a category of products to only be visible to group A customers.

You'd have to customize the application in order to render the category invisible unless the customer belongs to a certain group and when the customer isn't logged in.
