How to Integrate PrestaShop Hide Price with Membership Subscription Models

E-commerce businesses often look for ways to provide exclusive pricing to select customers. One effective way to do this is by using the PrestaShop Hide Price feature with membership subscription models. This allows you to hide prices from non-members and display them only to registered or premium customers. In this blog, we will guide you through the integration process and discuss how PrestaShop customer-specific access control can improve your store’s performance.

Why Use PrestaShop Hide Price with Membership Subscription Models?

Integrating PrestaShop Hide Price with membership subscriptions offers several benefits:

• Encourages sign-ups – Customers must subscribe to view prices, increasing membership rates.
• Increases exclusivity – Members feel special when they get access to exclusive pricing.
• Prevents price wars – Competitors cannot see your pricing strategy.
• Boosts conversion rates – Customers who sign up are more likely to complete purchases.
• Enables tiered pricing – Different membership levels can unlock different prices.

Now, let’s go through the step-by-step process of integrating PrestaShop Hide Price with a membership model.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up PrestaShop Hide Price for Membership Subscriptions

1. Install and Configure the PrestaShop Hide Price Module

To hide prices for non-members, you need the PrestaShop Hide Price module. Here’s how to install it:

1. Log in to your PrestaShop Admin Panel.
2. Navigate to Modules > Module Manager.
3. Search for PrestaShop Hide Price and click Install.
4. Go to the module settings and configure basic options.

Once installed, you can choose whether to hide prices for guests, specific customer groups, or non-members.

2. Create Customer Groups for Membership Levels

PrestaShop allows you to set up different customer groups. You can create membership tiers and assign different price visibility settings.

1. Go to Customers > Groups.
2. Click Add New Group and name it (e.g., "Silver Members", "Gold Members").
3. Set discount levels for each group.
4. Save and assign customers to these groups based on their subscription level.

These customer groups will determine who can see product prices.

3. Hide Prices for Non-Members

Now that you have customer groups, configure the PrestaShop Hide Price module to hide prices for non-members.

1. Go to Modules > PrestaShop Hide Price.
2. Find the option Hide Prices for Specific Groups.
3. Select Guest Customers and any other groups that should not see prices.
4. Choose what non-members will see instead:
   • “Login to See Prices”
   • “Subscribe to View Pricing”
   • Custom message (e.g., “Exclusive pricing for members only”)
5. Click Save Changes.

Now, only registered members will see product prices, while others will be encouraged to sign up.

4. Integrate a Membership Subscription System

To manage memberships, you can use a subscription module or an external membership system.

Using a PrestaShop Subscription Module:

1. Install a PrestaShop Subscription Module from the marketplace.
2. Configure membership plans with different pricing access.
3. Allow users to choose a plan during registration.
4. Automatically assign members to the correct customer group.

Using an External Membership System:

1. Integrate PayPal, Stripe, or another payment system for subscriptions.
2. Use PrestaShop customer-specific access control to assign paid members to special customer groups.
3. Ensure that only paid members can view product prices.

5. Customize the Pricing Display for Members

Now that non-members cannot see prices, you need to enhance the pricing experience for members.

1. Enable Member-Only Discounts – Offer special discounts for premium members.
2. Show Tiered Pricing – Display different prices for different membership levels.
3. Use Urgency Tactics – Highlight limited-time offers exclusive to members.
4. Personalize the Experience – Show customized pricing based on past purchases.

This will encourage customers to upgrade their membership for better deals.

6. Test and Optimize Your Membership Pricing System

Before launching, test the system:

✅ Check if non-members cannot see prices.
✅ Ensure that logged-in members see the correct prices.
✅ Verify that customer groups are assigned correctly.
✅ Test the subscription payment process.

Once tested, promote your membership program through:

• Email campaigns
• Social media ads
• Loyalty rewards for members
