By default, OpenCart displays product prices to all visitors. On **ruachost.com**, you can restrict product pricing so that only logged‑in customers can view prices. This is useful for wholesale stores, membership‑based shops, or businesses that want to hide prices until registration.

## Why Restrict Pricing?

- Encourage visitors to register before seeing product prices.
- Protect sensitive pricing information from competitors.
- Offer exclusive pricing to members or wholesale customers.

## Steps to Restrict Product Pricing

### Step 1: Log in to OpenCart Administrator

- Use your administrator account to access the backend dashboard.

### Step 2: Navigate to Store Settings

1. In the left sidebar, click **System → Settings**.
2. Select your store and click **Edit**.

### Step 3: Configure Customer Login Requirement

1. Go to the **Option tab**.
2. Scroll down to the **Login Display Prices** setting.
3. Set **Login Display Prices** to **Yes**.

   - This ensures that product prices are only visible to logged‑in customers.

### Step 4: Save Changes

- Click **Save** to apply the new settings.
- Visitors who are not logged in will now see products without prices.

> **Important Notes:**
- This restriction applies globally across the store.
- Logged‑out visitors will still see product names and descriptions, but not prices.
- You can combine this with **Customer Groups** to show different prices to different groups.
- Always clear OpenCart cache after updating settings.
