Create a Customer Group

You can create and edit customer groups and assign customers to them for marketing.

1. Select site > Merchant Tools > Customers > Customer Groups.
2. On the Customer Groups page, you can create or edit customer groups.

   The grid shows the ID, description, type, and number of customers for static groups.

   You can right-click links on this grid to perform standard actions such as opening the selection in a new tab or window.
   1. Click the filter icon and select the filter type.
   2. To sort by fields, click the ID or Description column headers.
3. To create a customer group:
   1. On the Customer Groups page, click New.
   2. On the Create New Customer Group window, enter the ID and description, for example, USA_CA_Customers.
      When created, this field is read-only.
   3. Select a type from one of the following:
      • Static: Merchant-defined. Manually assign customers to these groups either in Business Manager or via Import.
      • Dynamic: Merchant-defined. Using customer data, group membership rules dictate which customers belong to the group and which don't. You can't assign customers to these groups explicitly.

      System types are predefined Salesforce B2C Commerce groups. Customers are automatically assigned to these groups. These groups can't be edited or deleted. They include the following:

      • Everyone: All customers of the site, both unregistered and registered)
      • Registered: All registered customers of the site
      • Unregistered: All unregistered customers of the site
   4. Click Save.

      Filter by Customer Number, Last Name, First Name, Email, or Enabled.

   6. Click Assign to assign customers.
      If no customers are assigned to the group, the link Assign members to this customers group link appears beneath the empty grid (showing grid headers only).
