Wholesale and Retail Prices

[IntrepidClassChicken]

Hello,

I have the need to create a Wholesale and a Retail price for all of the products and to display the Retail prices by default but the Wholesale prices only when an authorised reseller logs in. I am expecting to be manually defining a user account as a Wholesaler from the back end.

Reading through the forums, I understand that shopper-groups could be involved but there also seems to be some suggestion that a discount rule could be applied?

Pretty much every product is a tile, with orders being 10s to 100s of tiles per order, individually selected. Wholesale $9 and Retail is $16.
That's a 43.75% discount for a Wholesaler which is a bit of a messy percentage but they are volume lots so that pricing is necessary. And of course in future I may have cause to change either the Wholesale or the Retail price across the lot and it would be handy to be working with whole numbers.

I'm just wondering what the best way would be?

Your experience, insight and assistance is greatly appreciated
