Banners By User-Groups
Banners By User-Groups: This addon provides functionality that appears as a user-groups selector in the banner management where store admin can set user-groups.
Banners By User-Groups is a CS-Cart add-on that lets a store admin control which shoppers can see each storefront banner. Instead of showing every banner to everyone, the admin assigns each banner to specific user groups (for example registered customers or guests) when creating or editing it, and shoppers who do not belong to a selected group will not see that banner. This solves the problem of showing the same promotional content to all visitors when different customer segments should see different messages. It is aimed at CS-Cart store owners who want to target banner content by audience.
This addon allows the admin to control which customers can see banners on the CS-Cart storefront. Banners will only be visible to selected user groups.
In the banner settings, the admin can choose user groups for each banner. If a customer does not belong to the selected group, they will not see the banner.
