Restricting product access by user(type)?

[VirtualWebDev]

Hello,

Looking to understand what is the best way to represent a catalog of products where SKUs available to buy, search, and view are restricted based on their user type.  In this case, we would be talking B2B customers versus B2C customers.

Would creating two subordinate(child) stores, one for B2C and one for B2B customer access, work? And then provide some filtering code by a product category?  And then add categories  for B2B and B2C, and either or both are 'true' depending on whether its B2B, B2C, or available for both customer sites? Or is this a coding nightmare to maintain?

Trying to keep coding to a minimum to reduce ongoing maintenance, and use as much as possible out of box by Prestashop.

Thank you!
