How to Use Customer Groups in Magento 2?
As mentioned before, to get the most out of your Magento 2 store you have to target the right audience with the right messages and offers. So, segmenting your customers into customer groups is the first step to go.
In Magento 2 there are a lot of places where you can use the customer groups feature. Let's find out what exactly.
1. Customer Group Price Rules
Tier Price in Magento 2 is the feature that allows you to set up customer group discounts based on the number of products purchased. It encourages customers to purchase more to get a discount.
2. CMS Block Display Restrictions
To offer a discount or to share some important information with your customers you usually use CMS blocks. But not all offers will be as tempting for one group of customers as it is for another.
So, you can configure the CMS blocks and pages display rules and define what customer group they will be visible for.
3. Cart Price Rules
Cart Price Rules are used in Magento 2 so that you can offer your customers discounts based on certain conditions. One of the options you select while creating the cart price rule is Customer Group.
Even if some customers fall under the conditions of the cart price rule, they can not receive the discount since it is created only for a certain customer group.
And that is not the end of the list. Customer groups are used for a lot of other custom rules and extensions to provide a better customer experience with personalized offers.
