The group switching rule conditions are divided into the following categories:

  • Customer Info: set up rules based on customer attributes and account information.
  • Default Billing & Shipping Address: group customers based on their default billing or shipping address details.
  • Sum of Invoice & Order Totals: switch customers based on aggregated sales attributes such as their monthly turnover or total shipping costs.
  • Single Order Totals: move customers based any single order attribute combination or order subselection.
  • Ordered Products: switch customers based on any product attribute combination or product subselection from their order history or from new orders only. Please note that you can only select product attributes that are enabled for Shopping Cart Price Rules. To enable a product attribute, go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes using the top Admin Panel menu. Select an attribute from the grid and enable the ‘Use for Promo Rule Conditions’ option in the Frontend Properties section of the Properties tab.
  • Recurring Profiles: move customers based on their recurring PayPal profile state and product SKU/quantity.

You can find example rules for each of the above mentioned condition categories in our Automatic Customer Group Switching demo store.
