in V16 the suggestions in the video no longer seem possible. The "visible groups" can no longer be set.
Any ideas how to create a B2B webshop in V16?

You can add a rule in the HTML so that only internal users and logged in users can see the page.

To do that:

1. Specify that only members of the Internal User and Portal groups should have access to the Shop Menu, by adding the groups to the Menu like this:


You would get to this screen by navigating to the Website App, then Configuration --> Menus


2)  Then go  here:

 Shop page --> customise Theme --> HTML/CSS/JS Editor and click on it

In the  Products  section  of  the  XML add a base group at the end of the path t name = products etc

Should look like this:



2) For the shopping cart in the XML look for Header Cart Link and add the same base group  at the  end  of  the  path  starting with t-set show_cart as per above picture.

Hi Raluca Maria,
This works great, with the exception that it brings up a completely blank page which is a bit misleading.
Would you know how they could rather view the sign-in page? To make the solution intuitive and complete the process.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Raluca, thanks, but how to prevent changes made in "2" from being lost by a base update?

Hi Floriane,

We had set the visibility for the button “Process Checkout” to groups internal users and portal users.

And also added the “Sign In” button and set visibility to public users.

We applied the concept as described in this post of limiting visibility by adding groups in XML, with the difference being we applied to the button rather than the page.

This worked for our scenario as we had wanted to ensure the check out process was available only to logged in users while shopping was available to all users.

In V16, this option is available to be set from settings > website

Hope this helps your case

Hello !


Yes This works great, with the exception that it brings up a completely blank page which is a bit misleading.
