We used another B2B plugin before switching to B2BKing and it allowed our customers to download a lightly formatted PDF/Excel/CSV Price List with our store information and then a list of all products and the customers pricing. Formatting looked just like the bulk order page with name, SKU, stock, price, etc. Feature could be toggled on and off based on customer type. So some customers may have access to bulk order page, but not able export a price list (this level of granularity is not as important.)
This allowed our wholesale customers to keep a digital/paper copy of all our products. Our customer base skews older and they like to have offline copies of stuff and to look up pricing on demand when they have a customer walk into their brick and mortar stores.
We have 3 pricing tiers at this point. So we'd prefer not to keep 3 pricelists manually updated and exported when that data is already easily accessible in bulk order page
Thank you for purchasing B2BKing and for the detailed feedback,
I see what you mean. From your screenshot it looks like that uses the DataTables library - we have the same library for purchase lists, which is why those are downloadable as well, as this library has that built-in.
However, for the Bulk Order Form specifically, we currently have a different architecture, which means we'd need to custom code this functionality. We have been considering this and looking at a dedicated feature for lists specifically / making it easy to export complete products list for each customer with their pricing and details.
I've noted down your feedback and we'll keep this in mind as we work on future updates to the plugin and bringing this feature live.
