After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Customer groups determine which discounts are available and the tax class that is associated with the group. The default customer groups are General, Not Logged In, and Wholesale.

  • The selection of customer groups includes all regular customer groups, and shared catalogs, even if Shared Catalogs is not enabled in the configuration. Only one customer group or shared catalog can be assigned to a company at a time.
