Description
Determines a fixed or dynamic relationship to the language and currency that products, promotions, and entitlements are displayed in.
Possible values are:
  • AccountBased
  • Market
  • DataCloudSegments
The default value is AccountBased. When set to Market, and when the org has multiple locales, the currency and language for qualifiers (price books, promotions, entitlements) dynamically change as the buyer views different locale-based markets.

Usage

BuyerGroup is related to objects that enable a localized buyer experience. Together, these objects provide buyers with dynamic access to the qualifiers (entitlements, price books, and promotions) associated with their buyer group when they browse and shop in webstores with localized languages and currencies. The related objects are as follows:

  • BuyerGroup - stores keys that link member entitlements, price books, promotions, and shipping methods to either a single currency and language or to multiple currencies and languages.
  • BuyerCriteria - represents locales (languages and currencies) that are enabled for BuyerGroup members when they shop in webstores with localized currencies and languages.
  • BuyerGroupBuyerCriteria - associates a buyer group that is enabled for webstores with multiple languages and currencies with BuyerCriteria that define those languages and currencies.
  • BuyerGroupRelatedObject - allows BuyerGroup qualifiers (entitlements, price books, and promotions) to be available in multiple languages and currencies without duplicating the qualifiers for each language and currency.
