Displaying customer specific tier prices

By default Magento will not display the customer specific pricing in the product detail page. For this reason the extension is equipped with additional block to allow you to show customer pricing as well.

In order to display prices, edit app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml and place the code below anywhere in the file: 

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('summary') ?>

Tip: We recommend placing it right after <?php echo $this->getTierPriceHtml() ?> call.
