   Howdy! I'm setting up a store for a client using WordPress and the plugin WP e-commerce. Everything is going well with very few delays in functionality request as I've been working with WordPress for a few years now.

   However, we have hit a brick wall concerning sales and user registration. In the admin/settings/general there is a check bock that allows anyone to register. I thought that there was an option to let the administrator okay the registration once he has been notified. I don't see that option anymore.

   Since he is selling products wholesale, we want an automated system by where if a business requests a price list then have an automated system where the business is verified and the price list is sent to them with them being registered and can also see the prices on the site after being approved and logging in. We would rather not ask for and store the business tax id code for security reasons but we don't know how to automate it without some type of business verification.

   I'm just looking for some thoughts on the issue and if someone has seen a solution for this situation.
   Thanks in advance

   I use wp-member to create a members-only area on my sites that need it:

   • Turn 'anyone can subscribe' off.
   • Add a custom field to the pages you want to block (i.e. only members to access)
   • When a user tries to access a blocked field, if they are not logged in, they will be prompted to do so or apply for a subscription (which can optionally be a paid-for one)
   • If you've set it up right, the application is sent for approval
   • Whoever approves the application can determine the level (subscriber by default if that's how you've set it up)

   I'm sure there are other plugins just as good. This is the only one I have experience of.
