Create Customer Groups

Creating customer groups:

You can choose to group various customers based on certain similarities, for example, retailers, wholesalers, etc. This would allow you to apply certain discounts or price increases to groups of customers.

  1. First log in to your business page
  2. If you are not automatically directed to your seller dashboard, click on the right hand corner where it says “Hi Your Name” and select Dashboard from the drop down list.
  3. Once you’re in the dashboard, click on the Contacts menu on the left and the third option “Customer Groups.
  4. To add a customer group, select the Add button to the top right hand corner of the screen. This will open up the Add Customer Group window.
  5. Give your Customer Group a name, for example, Retailers.
  6. Enter a positive number to indicate the percentage increase in the selling price of products in your store or a negative number to indicate the percentage decrease in the selling price of those products, whichever you would like to apply to that customer group.
  7. Whenever a customer is added to that group, whatever increase/discount you’ve chosen will be applied to all products when that customer makes an order from your store.

Once you’ve created a customer group, the next step will be to add customers to that group.
