Update Configurable option price for new customers only

[babyewok]

I need to update the configurable option price for a product for new customers only. If I update the price it updates it for all existing customers which is not what I want as the price change only affects peopel who request a dedicated domain from now on.

 

I tried creating a new option and hiding the old one, but when you go to checkout, you see the original option as "No" alongside the new option, even though you have no option to sleect it when purchasing a product.

 

There must be a way to do this without affecting the price for existing customers. If I update a domain price for example, which i DO want to be updated for existing customers, it leaves the price the same for them and changes it only for new orders!

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as my current price setup would leave me out of pocket!

You can do it with coupon codes. It works but it's not something you can do automatically. Well in could *secretly* force the use of a coupon code before checkbout *if($you_are="new_customer")* based on this feature.

In the end I duplicated the whole product and created a new config. option group to apply to it and then hid the old product from the order form. Bit of a backwards way to go about it and I'm sure will make things confusing in the future (especially if I have to do it again) - would be a good feature to add!
