Create Geographical Customer Groups

Use rules to define customer groups by the geolocation data of the IP addresses of B2C Commerce customers when they log in.

1. Click App Launcher , and then select Merchant Tools | Site | Customers | Customer Groups.
2. On the Manage Customer Groups page, click New to create a customer group.
3. On the New Customer Groups page, enter the (mandatory) ID (for example, USA_NY_Customers).
4. For Type, select Dynamic. Geolocation information for a customer exists in the session, but isn’t stored in B2C Commerce, so geographical customer groups are never static.
5. Enter a description (for example, New York Customers) and click Apply. The Membership Rule field appears.
6. Click Edit.
7. In the Customer Group Include/Exclude window, click in the Attributes field. See Dynamic Customer Group Attributes for details on the available rules.
8. Create a rule that uses the geolocation attributes. To test the customer group, be sure to include a group with your current location, so you can log in and test the feature.
