Create different groups in Multistore and be able to choose a default group per store

[negro8219]

I have a multistore setup.

One store is for my regular customers and the other is for customers who hold a professional license.

On store "A" I have 4 groups Visitors, Guest, Customer, Professionals.

On Store "B" I have 5 Groups Visitors, Guest, Customer, Professionals and Need approval.

When a customer creates an account on store"A" he is by default placed on the customer group which that is fine.

The issue comes when I want my customer from store "B" to be placed by default in the Need Approval group. By default the customers of store "B" are placed in the customers group same as store "A".

 

As far as I have been reading you can change the default group to a different one.

But my question is how to set this up in a way that one store has one default group and the other has another default group?

 

Any ideas?

 

I think that if we have a multistore option to be created in prestashop this should be an easy option to choose your default groups as a per shop basis.

I will appreciate your help on this topic.

 

Best regards.

We run a multistore set up with different default groups per store (we're running PS 1.5.4.1). We set it up as follows:

 

1. Under Customers > Groups, set the Multistore Configuration drop down to the store you want to work in.

2. Add a new customer group for that store.

3. In the Default group options (further down the same page), select the checkbox next to the type of group (Visitors, Guests, Customers) you want to assign to your new group.

4. In the drop down, select your new group, and Save. 

 

So for instance, we run a shop in the US and the UK. We created, customer group Customer - US for the US shop and Customer - UK for the UK shop. In the Default Group Options section, we checked the box next to Customers group and set it Customer - US for the US shop, and Customer - UK for the UK shop. It's worked fine for us since we set it up.

 

Hope that helps. Good luck!
