For each customer who has an account in your store, you have the option to change a Customer Group (membership level).

Customer Groups means to apply different privileges to a group of customers. AbanteCart shopping cart allows you to provide some of your customers with access to special features:

discounts;
promotional pricing - special prices;
tax exempt;
payment restriction - restrict which payment methods are available per customer group
third-party extensions may also use Customer groups (customer group auto update, promotions, points...etc)

Customer Groups list

Please do not remove the Newsletters group because it is used for the Subscribe feature. All subscribers without a registered account will be assigned to this group.

Edit Customer Group

Customer Group Name: Enter a name of a new customer group. In most cases, it is not visible to customers.

Exempt from all taxes: Select to exempt customers within a group from all taxes (not applied when Avatax is enabled). This setting will override Tax Exempt settings in the Tax Rates

Assign Customer Groups to customers in Sales → Customers. When customers create an account, they will be assigned to the default Customer group configured in the Checkout Settings.
