Groups

Adding Customers to Groups allows you to provide group discounts, group e-mails, and more. A customer can be added to one group. A default group can also be defined. You can add as many groups as you need. Loyalty can also be enabled, or disabled depending on the group preference. A group might consist of Wholesalers, Regular Customers, or others. 


Groups

Groups must be created in the Back Office. Customers can be assigned a group during creation, in both the Back Office and Terminal. Groups can be renamed, deleted, and created in the Back Office. If you offer a loyalty program, you can disable the loyalty offerings for each group.
