Prestashop Module JC Account Group

JCAccountGroup module allow your customers to create an account directly into a particular group and moderate the new registrations automaticaly or manualy  for each group.

 

JC Account Group Main Features

• customer can select his group
• administrator can receive mail on each new customer
• administrator can moderate new customers (activate or not)
• administrator can activate new pending customers from email or from a custom page in the backoffice

JCAccountGroup module allow your customers to create an account directly into a particular group.

In fact, if your site uses the concept of user group (professionals, resellers, students, ...), you no longer have to create the account manually, or worse to let the customer place an order with the wrong prices, before changing its group.

For each group, you can choose whether or not it is enabled by default.

If it is activated directly, then the process is the normal process of prestashop (no mail sent to the client, against the administrator may receive an email ).

If you need to verify the information before deciding whether to activate the account or not, when a mail is sent to the customer following the creation of the account (a message also appears on the screen). In this email, you can insert a message (customizable for each group) to explain the possible things to do (send a copy of a professional card, student card, ...).

At the same time, you receive an email telling you that a new account has been created and is awaiting moderation. A full summary of the account (address included) is part of the email.

Links let you activate directly the account, or visit the page dedicated to awaitings accounts validation.

This page show the list of accounts pending validation. For each account, full details of the account is displayed, and a set of buttons allow you to validate or refuse the account, to see the administration page of the account, to contact the person via email.

If you activate a customer account, a confirmation email is sent to the customer indicating that he can now order on your site.

This module is not compatible with the One Page Checkout but only with the standard method.

Prestashop Module Customer Group Retrospect

Retrospect configures customers' default groups to predefined groups during account creation according to the rules specified in advance so the settings apply to the customer from registration.

Customer Group Retrospect Main Features

Feature :

• Automatically add customers to specific groups
• Use specific rules to add customers to groups at registration

Retrospect prospectively configures customers' default groups to predefined groups during account creation according to the rules specified in advance, so the settings that apply to a group (e.g. discounts, or carrier) apply to the customer from the point of registration, and eliminate the need to change customers' default group manually.

In effect Restrospect enables you to implement very sophisticated concepts that are otherwise impossible:

• — Allow carrier X to be used only by customers with postcode Y.
• — Give all customers residing in region Z 5% discount.
• — Show category W to only customers from country Q.
• — If customer is a student give free shipping.
• — Accept Bank wire only from customers residing in state P.
• — Give students residing in country M for the items in category N $10 discount and enable carrier P for those orders.
• — ...

It is possible to base rules on the customer's email address, zones, countries and postcode/zip.

On a default installation of PrestaShop, if you want your customers' default group to be any group other than the default group, you must change each customer's group retrospectively. So, say for example, if you have a group Academia with a special discount, and you want the default group of customers whose email addresses end in .edu to be the group Academia. Then, after the account creation you must manually change the customer's default group.

This has two disadvantages: it is not scalable; if you have a busy shop you will be spending a lot of time changing new customers' groups. The second disadvantage is that the rules that govern the group are not applied during the initial purchase which is likely to have led to the account creation.

Retrospect attempts to overcome these issues by allowing you to create group rules that will be applied during the account creation to assign the customers' default group according to those rules. In addition, Retrospect can apply a rule to the existing customers retrospectively and can be set to watch for changes made to customer details after the registration.
