Magento – Magento2 – Change customer Group Programatically for guest and logged in users

customer-groupmagento2

I have a form in which when a particular code is given, the customer group should be changed to apply discounts.

I have tried the following code, it changes the customer group. I can see the discounted prices in Product list page as well as Product detail page. But in the cart and checkout process it doesnt apply.

$this->session->setCustomerGroupId("3");

Can someone please help in solving the issue.

$this->session->setCustomerGroupId("3");

This only saves the customer group id in the session (which is temporary). I think in the Checkout, the actual Customers Group ID is used again.

You can set the customers group id (persistent) with the following code:

$this->session->getCustomer()->setGroupId("3")->save();

You have to make sure, that the customer is logged in before. You can check that with the following:

$this->session->isLoggedIn()

Manage this using observer using function extend.

if (Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()){
            $customer = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();
            if( // vat id condition):
                    $customerHelper = Mage::helper('customer');
                    $defaultGroupId = $customerHelper->getDefaultCustomerGroupId($customer->getStore());
                    if (!$customer->getDisableAutoGroupChange() && $customer->getGroupId() != $defaultGroupId) {
                        $customer->setGroupId($defaultGroupId);
                        $customer->save();
                    }
            endif;
        }

Because you're calling function getCode() with empty value – which's returning defualt group while you should call getCode($VALUE) – which's in your case $groupId which you've loaded one line above.

You have a mistake at line:

  echo $group->getCode();

while it should be:

  echo $group->getCode($groupId);

Change your code into:

<?php
if(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()){
      // Get group Id
      $groupId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
      //Get customer Group name
      $group = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($groupId);
      echo $group->getCode($groupId);
}
?>
