Customer groups¶
You can assign users to different customer groups to enable custom pricing. This enables you to give specific prices or price discounts (global or per product) to specific groups of users.
For example, you can offer a 10% discount for all products in the catalog to users who belong to the Resellers customer group.
By using the Discounts LTS Update, you can create even more complex rules that apply to only selected customer groups or to all customers.
Tip
Customer groups aren't the same as user groups. User groups concern all users in the system and can be used, for example, to handle permissions. Customer groups refer specifically to the commerce functionalities and enable handling prices.
Enabling customer groups¶
To enable the use of customer groups, you need to modify the user content type's definition by adding a customer group field.
With this field you can add a user to any of the predefined customer groups.
