  4. Switch to the Conditions tab and click the Add condition button.

  5. Select the User group condition from the dropdown list. Then choose equal and select the user group. For example, the Wholesale user group in the picture below.

    Hint

    If you change equal to not equal, then every user, except for the members of the selected group, will get a discount.

    The Conditions tab determines when the promotion is applied.
  6. Switch to the Bonuses tab and click the Add bonus button.

  7. Select the Product discount bonus from the dropdown list. Choose how the discount will be applied and enter the size of the discount. For example, let’s enter 5. Here’s the various ways of how the discount will work in that case:

    • To percentage of the original price: products will cost 5% of their original price.
    • By percentage of the original price: products will cost 95% of their original price (price with discount = original price - 5%).
    • To fixed amount: the price of products will be set to 5 units of the primary currency of your store, unless those products already have prices lower than 5.
    • By fixed amount: the price of products will be lower by 20 units of the primary currency of your store (price with discount = original price - 5).

    Important

    Unless you specify other conditions, the discount will apply to all products in your store.

  8. Click the Create button. Now the members of the selected user group will see the discount on product and category pages.

    The Bonuses tab determines what happens when the promotion is applied.
