Hi Suzzane,

The plugin itself doesn’t allow you to create custom checkout pages for users. However, you can decide if a wholesale user needs to pay or not, so they can just submit an order (like a purchase order) without having to pay. You can also choose whether or not they are taxable and set up different tax rates for wholesale customers. You can also disable shipping calculations & coupons for wholesale customers as well. So, all those options will change the checkout process for wholesale customers.

Since there is a separate role for wholesale customers, you can create your own checkout page template and use some conditional statements to show different things to wholesale customers versus retail customers. Woocommerce is very flexible with their templates, and all you need to do is move a template to your theme’s woocommerce directory (with the appropriate subdirectories to match the woocommerce templates directory structure) and woocommerce will use your template instead of the built-in one.

You can also use the Role Based Payment/Shipping Methods plugin to choose different payment and shipping methods based on the user’s role:

I’m currently using that plugin for a client site we are developing and have create some simple payment gateways called “Quote” and “Purchase Order” that only appear for certain types of customers (based on roles).

As far as phone support goes, this company is just me for right now, so I don’t have any kind of full time support staff. However, I’m happy to set up a time to talk to you on the phone if you need some custom work done or support for a purchase. Most support is done via email and the support forums, though.

The Phone field is now optional in version 1.7 released today. See the main settings page… there is a new checkbox that you can check to remove the phone field.

You are correct as far as the headers on the contact form… I should have added some classes to those, or a wrapper div at least, with the last update… just super busy with projects here, so put that last update out quickly and didn’t look at the contact form function.

I’ll see if I can push out an update today with a div wrapper around that contact form, as well as some classes for those headings.

However, there are also filter hooks in place to allow other plugins or themes add content before and after the form (including before those headings are output). So, you could add a wrapper div of your own choosing around the contact form without modifying the plugin by adding a couple really simple hooks and functions to your theme’s functions.php file. This is all you would have to do to add your own div wrapper:

function ptamdcf_add_div_start($html, $id, $location) {
	return '<div class="ptamd_contact_form">';
}
add_filter('pta_member_before_contact_form', 'ptamdcf_add_div_start', 10, 3);

function ptamdcf_add_div_end($form_html, $id, $location) {
	return $form_html . '</div>';
}
add_filter('pta_member_before_contact_form', 'ptamdcf_add_div_end', 10, 3);

Also, the nonce and referrer fields are necessary for security and best practices. Those are generated by the built-in wordpress function wp_nonce_field, and the location in my script is actually inside the form, but it looks like I didn’t set the optional third echo argument to false, so it’s echoing those fields before the rest of the form is returned. It still works fine that way, but I’ll change that in the new update.
