Default Customer Discount Group?

[dmm2020]

Is there a way of setting, or scripting Zen-Cart so that all new customers are assigned a discount pricing group?

I want to set my website so that all new customers automatically go into a "General" pricing group for various reasons.

By default all customers are assigned to group=0.

To change that you'll have to make an edit to the code:

1. Go to Admin->Customers->Group Pricing, and create the new group. When you click to Edit that new group, the URL will change to show the group ID number. Note it.

2. Copy /includes/modules/create_account.php to /includes/modules/NAME_OF_YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/create_account.php

3. Then edit that new file as shown below:
Around line 255 you'll see these 2 lines:

                            'customers_email_format' => $email_format,
                            'customers_default_address_id' => 0,

Insert a line between them, like this:

                            'customers_email_format' => $email_format,
                            'customers_group_pricing' => 4,
                            'customers_default_address_id' => 0,

Be sure to substitute your specific Group Number in place of the "4" in the example above.

And of course save the changes to your server.

Now every time a customer registers, he/she will be automatically added to that group.

Thanks, that is perfect, exactly what I wanted.
