The best way to implement this is by using customer group discounts. If your trade customers get a discount off all the products in your store then here is how to set this up.
xcustomerprices = Yes (you have this set to Yes already)
xcustomerpriceidentifier = custother1 (see previous post)
xcustomerpricetypes = Trade,Wholesale,Friend etc.
xcustomerpricepercents = 0.15, 0.20, 1.25 etc. (15% discount for Trade customers, 20% discount for Wholesale customers, 25% extra for Friends etc)
You can then add the customer type to the custother1 field in the customer records. Whenever you change the discount amount in xcustomerpricepercents for a customer type it will apply to all customers of that type.
If however your trade customers only get discounts on certain products then you will have to choose a field in the product record to store the price that the trade customer will see and then add the name of this field to xcustomerpricefields eg price3. I would only use the Customer Prices table for 'special' customers who don't fit into your main customer types. (We have a couple of them)
Regarding the previous post about the trade checkout - Will your coffee franchise customers be classed as customer type "Trade"? If yes that's fine. If not, but you still want them to bypass the payment page, let me know, because the custom code check before checkout will have to be modified.
Hope this helps,
