How To Create Customer Group Programmatically In Magento 2
After creating customers programmatically in Magento 2, you may require to group them based on similar buying behavior, let’s say, to organize them with ease, give them discounts, and restrict access to specific products or categories. Magento 2 offers a solution to divide the customers into groups called Magento 2 Customer Groups.
As when you want to implement any functionalities based on the Magento 2 customer groups you need to add customer group field in Magento 2 admin UI component form.
This arrangement helps store owners with targeted customer management and marketing. Efficiently manage the user experience offered, rules, tax classes, etc. based on the customer groups.
The default Magento 2 customer groups are:
- General
- Not Logged In
- Wholesale
However, the default features are never enough for us developers, (or can we say, for client requirements 😉)
Managing user experience and store customization can be made easier with custom customer groups! And that’s why I’ve come up with the method to create customer group programmatically in Magento 2.
What can you do with the customers divided into groups in Magento 2 store?
- Manage the content displayed to the users
- Configure tax rules
- Design discount and sales strategy
- Restrict product or categories
- Offer specific shipping or payment methods
The list is endless. Offer anything you can think of that is related to customer types. The customers are going to be thankful for this win-win situation where you make their shopping experience smoother!

<?php namespace Vendor\Extension\Setup; use Magento\Framework\Module\Setup\Migration; use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface; use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface; use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface; use Magento\Customer\Model\GroupFactory; class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface {   protected $groupFactory;   public function __construct(GroupFactory $groupFactory) {     $this->groupFactory = $groupFactory;   }   public function install(     ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup,     ModuleContextInterface $context   ) {     $setup->startSetup();     $group = $this->groupFactory->create();     $group       ->setCode('New Group')       ->setTaxClassId(3)       ->save();     $setup->endSetup();   } } |
