Buyer group membership and store assignment objects
Key Takeaway
A buyer group's entitlement policies and price books reach an account in a store only when both links exist: a BuyerGroupMember record for the account and a WebStoreBuyerGroup record for the store.
A buyer group is a set of B2B accounts that share the same entitlement policies, price books, and promotions. A BuyerGroupMember record puts an account into a buyer group. Assigning that buyer group to a store gives its accounts access to the store with those entitlement policies, price books, and promotions. Together, membership and store assignment decide which products each buyer sees and what they pay.
What a buyer group holds
The BuyerGroup object represents a group of buyers with the same assigned entitlement policies, price books, and products. Think of a buyer group as a key ring. The group holds the qualifiers, and every member gets them.
