Registration approval by admin VM 2.0

[Lopezdanada]

Hi all, I am new in virtuemart. Currently I am using Joomla 2.5.2 and Virtuemart 2.0 to create an e-commerce website. 
Because we will only sell to verified customers, is there any way to modify the payment process in virtuemart or joomla as below:

1.   See the product details via the website (excluding price )
2.   If customer would like to see the price and purchase, they need to register first
3.   After registration,  our customer service person will verify customer details manually and then send customer a verified link or verified code / confirmation email ect...
4.   Customer log in his/her account to purchase products.

I would appreciate it if you could give me any suggestions.

Many thanks

Hi Max,

In Joomla 3.4.3 and VirtueMart 3.0.9.4 this doesn't seem to work when using VirtueMart's registration form. Is this behaviour on purpose, or is it a bug? Shouldn't VirtueMart's registration form respect this setting, since it doesn't have an own anymore (like in VM1)?

It surely is possible to skip adding prices for the default customer group, and use wholsale group or similar for approved customers, but for stores upgrading or changing from J to VM reg. this will require quite much extra work for the store owner.
