We currently have a registration form but we want to change one of the checkboxes to give it additional functionality so that it changes the group the customer will be put into when they register from the default one to a special loyalty one.
I've looked at a few solutions online but I haven't been able to find one that does this exactly, most seem to create a dropdown to select customer group but we just want this one checkbox to change it.
If you want to change customer group during registration by some request checkbox you can:
Create plugin for \Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface after method createAccount and on update $customer group based on \Magento\Framework\App\RequestInterface
Or create observer on event customer_register_success and update customer group.
You don't need to install any additional extension for this. If you have an issue with creating plugin or observer, I can prove the example. Let me know
[UPDATE]
In my example Acme like vendor name, StackExchange - module name
1. Register extension
app/code/Acme/StackExchange/registration.php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
use Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar;
ComponentRegistrar::register(ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, 'Acme_StackExchange', __DIR__);
2. Create module declaration
app/code/Acme/StackExchange/etc/module.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
<module name="Acme_StackExchange">
<sequence>
<module name="Magento_Customer"/>
</sequence>
</module>
</config>
3. Create Dependency Injection for set plugin
app/code/Acme/StackExchange/etc/di.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface">
<plugin name="Acme_StackExchange_Plugin_Customer_Api_AccountManagementPlugin"
type="Acme\StackExchange\Plugin\Customer\Api\AccountManagementPlugin" sortOrder="10"/>
</type>
</config>
4. Create plugin
app/code/Acme/StackExchange/Plugin/Customer/Api/AccountManagementPlugin.php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Acme\StackExchange\Plugin\Customer\Api;
use Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\RequestInterface;
class AccountManagementPlugin
{
protected RequestInterface $request;
protected CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepository;
public function __construct(
RequestInterface $request,
CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepository
) {
$this->request = $request;
$this->customerRepository = $customerRepository;
}
public function afterCreateAccount(
AccountManagementInterface $subject,
CustomerInterface $result
): CustomerInterface {
// check if checkbox value set
if ($this->request->getParam('your_checkbox_name')) {
// set custom group
$result->setGroupId('GROUP_ID');
// save customer data
$this->customerRepository->save($result);
}
return $result;
}
}
5. Run setup upgrade
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
