Features to be used with Customer Group


The following storefront entities are controlled by the customer groups at the moment:

a. Product Categories
If you want a category to be viewed by certain customer groups, you can select Customer Groups in the Customer Management form when editing your categories.

After you select the Customer Groups option, there will be two fields displayed below it :

Groups to be included

Select which customer groups can view this category.

You can select more than one customer group by pressing CTRL + click another group.

Groups to be excluded

Select which customer groups cannot view this category.
You can select more than one customer group by pressing CTRL + click anothergroup.


In a certain case where a customer is grouped into more than one customer group, for example, customer A is grouped into customer group Wholesale and customer group Reseller.

 

Then when editing a category, we set the following,for example :
Groups to be included is set to Wholesale.

Groups to be excluded is set to Reseller.

 

Customer A will not able to see the category because the customer is in the customer group Reseller, which is in the excluded list although the customer is also in the other group Wholesale. This is how the VPCart system works by taking the excluded list as basis when a customer belongs to both groups in the included list and excluded list.
