Hi Everyone,

As you know, Ecwid provides a flexible tool for changing look and feel of your storefront – custom CSS themes. By means of slight CSS modifications, you can change text size/color, hide or move some of the blocks on your product pages, adjust price display and more. Also, a lot of Ecwid merchants are using special CSS code snippets that allow to apply different design to different product or category pages.

In the recent update, we added an improvement to this feature – now you can change your store look and feel depending on the customer that opens it. In particular, the CSS customizations you add to your store can now depend on:

• whether a visitor is a registered customer in your store or not (Logged in / Logged out)
• a group/membership the customer belongs to (what is customer group?)

How can you use that? Here is a few examples:

• hide product prices for unregistered customers and show them when a customer logs in
• change the cart page design for the customers with 'Gold' membership in your store
• add a custom message to your site or store for the wholesale customers

Please find the exact codes and more details on the feature in our Help center: http://help.ecwid.com/customer/porta...in-pages-only-

Thank you!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Ecwid Customer Care Team!

The matter is that the feature, which is described in the previous message, allows to change design of your store (i.e. the way your store looks) depending on the customer, who visits your store.

Ecwid recognizes customers who:
- has an account in your store or doesn't have it (logged in / logged out);
- belongs to any customer group (for example, wholesalers).

As for product price, it is a part of product information (such as product title or product image), and it can not be changed with the help of CSS customizations. Thus, at this moment it is not possible to display different prices, depending on the customer.

In case you'd like to offer a discount to registered customers only, you can achieve it with the help of special discount coupon. Create the discount coupon in your Ecwid control panel > then add the informative message with the secret coupon code into the description of product category > hide this message with the help of custom CSS code for customers, who isn't logged in or doesn’t have account in your store.

In case you created discounts for customer groups and would like to notify customers about this discount, you can place the informative message into the description of product category as well. You can make this message invisible for another customers, using this instruction: http://help.ecwid.com/customer/porta...oCustomerGroup

Please, let us know should you require any further assistance with the CSS. Please, describe in detail, what exactly you'd like to achieve and we will find a solution for you.

Thank you!

Hi Earl,

Thanks for your message!

Since Ecwid is embeddable solution, all its design features were implemented that way that merchant could change the look of his/her store in the way he/she like. This allows seamlessly integrate Ecwid stores to the sites and make of Ecwid not another app on the site, but part of it.

There’s a tool on the web which is perfect for playing around with layout changes. As a result, you’ll get a CSS code for the whole theme, that you’ll need to put to your custom CSS theme in Ecwid control panel → System Settings → Design → CSS Themes page.

You can learn more about managing the Ecwid layout in our articles about changing Ecwid design and customizing Ecwid CSS.

Also, some great Ecwid users offer various themes for your Ecwid store. You can check out their offers here: Maristany—http://www.ecwid.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28731 and Thematizr—http://thematizr.com/store.html.

I hope this helps. If any additional questions appear, do not hesitate to ask.

Is it possible to have a store that displays products ONLY once a customer has logged in?

[Thematizr.com]

Yes, totally. Ecwid adds specific classes to body element, depending on whether customer has signed in or not. Your CSS customizations might include those classes into their selectors so that the customizations only apply to the specific state of Ecwid.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching us out!

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) — is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of an HTML-page, or, in this case, it specifies the look and feel of your Ecwid store.

Simply open the Ecwid control panel and navigate to: Settings → Design → CSS Themes. There, you can choose from several pre-defined templates or create your own custom theme.

For more information on customizing Ecwid, visit our CSS FAQ.

Also, the basics of CSS can be found on the W3School site.

Hope this helps!
