Hi Everybody !
Today, I introduce everybody a best practice. How to set Default Group to new customer when they register new account successfully in your store.
See video how i can do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIkMyK0_SMQ
As far as i know, Magento allow to manage the customers via group. We have four groups name by default in Magento: NOT LOGGED IN, General, Wholesale and Retailer. When the customer registers new account, the system will automatical set default group "General" to them.
However, in this case, i added new a customer group with the name: VIP Members and i want to set the new customers to this group, so how can i do it?
It is very simple, Magento CE 2.x support this feature by default.
You login into the Admin Panel
Goto Stores -> Configuration -> Customers -> Customer Configuration
Click on "Create New Account Options" tab, after that set the option Default Group to group you want to be and click Save Config button.
I added new a customer group with the name: VIP Members. You can add any new customer group by the way.
Goto Stores -> Other Settings -> Customer Groups
After that, you set new group to Default Group.
Run command line:
bin/magento cache:clean
The finally, Testing by creating a new customer account and see results
After creating new customer account, you need to run reindex customer_grid by command line:
bin/magento indexer:reindex customer_grid
