Using Shopper Groups
You may want to offer discounts to groups of customers on your website – for example, you may choose to give all local teachers a 10% discount. You can do this through the cart’s “Shopper Groups”.
Tips on managing Shopper Groups
- You, as Site Administrator, manage the assignment of users to Shopper Groups
- You may want to have a signup form on your site to encourage customers to signup for your discount group(s)
- You may also want to have a signup form in your store to encourage customers to signup for your website discount group(s)
