Shopinvader Customer Price

Handle customer specific prices.

Provides:

• endpoint /customer_price/products to fetch customer prices for products.
• backend configuration to state which pricelist should be used by partner (by selecting a partner field that relates to pricelists)

Use case

Thousands of customers and at least 1 pricelist per each customer. You want to display customer specific prices in the frontend on demand. For instance: product page, wishlists, etc.

Rationale

One of the key points of Shopinvader's speed is the delegation of products' data indexing to external search engines.

While this is perfect for generic data and not so complex price rules, if you have very special prices per each customer that's a blocker, and you'd need to index all prices for all customers to make it work seemlessly.

Warning

It's strongly recommended to not call the endpoint for each product on search results otherwise you'll get potentially thousands of requests to Odoo.

Also, when setting the pricelist field for the partner, beware that prices in the indexes might differ from the prices in the cart.

Known issues / Roadmap

Probably the best option would be to have 1 index per customer which would even allow to sort and filter products by customer's prices but this requires a lot of work with current implementation of search engine machinery.

If you use Algolia this is probably a no-go as it would cost too much. In the context of ElasticSearch instead you could afford it.

Things that would be needed to go for an indexed solution:

• make language not required on indexes (at the momemt the whole SE machinery relies on languages)
• automatically generate one index per each pricelist/customer
• make the frontend capable of switching indexes depending on the customer
