can new customer choice a default group?

[robertomagan]

Hi all!

 

When a new customer is registered into the shop his default customer group is the default customer group that was preconfigured in prestashop.

 

I have two groups, group default and new group, is there any way by which allow to new customer to choice in which group he/she wants to belong?

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Regards, Roberto.

I have created a module that allows for this.

Thanks bellini13, but I'm looking for a solution or free module.

 

Is there any other way?

prestashop does not allow for this functionality, so one must create it. you can create it yourself, or purchase the solution from a 3rd party. if you are looking for a discount on my module, you can PM me and perhaps we can agree on a cost.

Hello ,

 

Go and browse the database for the table ps_customer and then check the structure and you will se there that there is a field "id_default_group" that has a predefined value of "1" that coresponds with the id of the "default" group in table "ps_group".

 

Change the id_default_group to the value you need and all the new customers that regitrate after you modifications will be in the new group. I have 1 group per year so i give them different dicounts and advantages based on how old are the customers onto my site.

I understand your solution but I need to devide my customers to groups by their country in order to show prices in their currency. So when they register and choose a group (e.g. USA or Slovakia) they will see familiar prices (e.g. Dollars or Eur).

Is there any way how to do this?

Prestashop will allow customers to see products in their currency just by clicking the little flag in the top/ header menu.

If you do not have the Currency at the top of your shop you may need to install or enable this feature.

You can have multiple currencies so no worries, If your worried that customers want see this add a line with the home text editor about selecting currency,

Hi Roberto,

As tdr170 explained above, you may be overthinking this just a little bit. As long as you've installed the proper translation packs for every country from which you would expect sales (you can do this in your Back Office under Tools > Translations), your users can just click on the corresponding flag at the top of any page to switch not only the currency but also the language across the site.

 

And if you ever find a translated segment that you don't think is correct, you can even change the translation yourself in that same section of your Back Office!

 

I hope this helps.
