In our last article, we talked about how to create special customer groups, in order to offer premium pricing for customer loyalty. If you’ve got a lot of products in your nopCommerce-based store, this could become problematic if you’re wanting to provide discounts on many products. It may be better to simply offer discounts on a category basis; however, there’s still the matter of offering the price breaks to your most loyal customers only. Let’s take a look at how we can offer that via nopCommerce.

We’ll use the same special customer group we created in the last article; if you’re coming directly to this article first, I recommend referencing the steps highlighted there.

Let’s start by creating your Preferred Customer role; log into your nopCommerce instance, and in Admin, hover over “Customers”, and select “Customer Roles”.

nopCommerce Tips: Review of the Nop Customer Reminder
