Hey, im building my Wordpress website with woocommerce, advanced custom fields pro and advanced product fields extended
Im pricing my custom products with a formula with the help of advanced product fields extended right now, I will also have some products that use a flat rate
Is this setup compatible with the B2Bkings plugin, or will they clash over how the pricing shows both in the product pages and the cart/checkout?
In that setup you'd want to avoid having both plugins try to control pricing at the same time, as that could cause conflicts.
To make this work smoothly, you can disable B2BKing's pricing engine by going to B2BKing -> Settings -> Other -> Components and turning off "Disable group & tiered pricing". That way, your Advanced Product Fields Extended plugin handles all the pricing logic (formulas, flat rates, etc.), and B2BKing takes care of everything else - like user groups, visibility rules, registration, etc.
Alternatively, if you wanted to use B2BKing for pricing (group pricing, tiered pricing, etc.), you'd handle it through B2BKing and not through the other plugin's pricing features. The key is to pick one or the other for pricing to keep things conflict-free.
If I decide to continue using APF as I do today, how would the B2B setup handle displaying company-specific discounts? Will users be able to see their discounts directly on the product page, or will they only appear on the cart page?
Additionally, is B2BKing capable of using complex mathematical formulas to calculate product pricing?
If APF is handling your pricing (formulas, flat rates, etc.), then you'd want to disable all of B2BKing's pricing features to avoid conflicts. This means B2BKing discounts, group pricing, tiered pricing - all of that would need to be turned off if APF is in charge of pricing. They can't both manage pricing at the same time - or they can, but I cannot guarantee that would be conflict free.
Now, if you wanted to go the other way and use only B2BKing for pricing:
- Yes, discounts can appear on all pages including product pages. They show up as sale prices, the same way WooCommerce sale prices work (regular price crossed out, discounted price shown).
- However, B2BKing does not have features for math formulas in pricing or for applying pricing to custom product fields. So if you need formula-based pricing for custom products, that's something APF would handle better.
