This tutorial describes the steps to provide a discount to a selection of customers. This method has two parts: first, a Customer Group must be created. Second, an Event is created that provides a discount to that group.
Overview
-
A discount is provided only to customers who are members of a specified Customer Group.
-
The customer must be logged in to the storefront in order for the event to be triggered.
-
If the customer logs out, or is removed from the Customer Group, then the discount is also automatically removed.
To replicate this type of functionality in your store, use the Event Engine Editor to create an event with the following Triggers and Results:
General Information
In the General Information section, set the desired Event Name, Start Date, End Date, and any other desired settings for the event.
Triggers
The event's trigger(s) should be set up as follows.
trigger 1 of 1
Type: customer
Details: The customer is in the Customer Group SID 123
Change "123" to the SID number of the Customer Group. When the trigger is set to the values listed above, the event will be enacted when the storefront is browsed by a logged in customer that is a member of the specified group.
Results
The event's result(s) should be set up as follows.
result 1 of 1
Type: product pricing
Details: The price of products in category SID 456 is decreased 10 percent
The result can be set to anything you like. In this example, when the event is triggered, it will result in a 10% discount being applied to all products in category SID 456.
