Can the purchase of a membership automatically add a customer to a group?

[BTutt]

Using PS version 1.6

 

I know you can manually assign a customer to a group. I am looking to automate the process.

 

Here is the situation:

The site wants to sell a product called "Membership". When the membership is purchased the buyer receives a discount on new purchases. Is there an existing module or a way to add code to a specific product so that the buyer is assigned to the group "Members" upon purchasing membership? Thank you for your help.

Sounds like you would need to create a module, and apply your logic so that when this specific "membership" (product) is purchased, that the customer is then added to a pre-defined group. 

 

You could also do this without creating a module, but I would not suggest doing that. 

 

I am not aware of an existing module, you would need to start searching for that.  But if you are looking to hire someone to create this module for you, send me a PM and we can discuss further.

I was hoping it might be as easy as writing some PHP code into the PS product creation page when I create the product, but I guess that would make life way too easy.
