Big Commerce doesn't yet have a way to query and find the active customer group for a logged in customer. So here's a series of posts to help you set up distinguishing characteristics and items you can show or hide based on those characteristics.
1. Create at least two customer
Groups and define one of the customer groups as the default customer
group. If you create a Retail and Wholesale group use the Retail Group as
the default group.
B. Open your Excel/CSV file >
go to the column labeled "Customer Group" > Enter in your
default customer group name for each member that will be in the default
group, which should be every member NOT in a specialized group. You can
copy/paste here> once finished save the file >click "yes"
to the type of save
C. Importing:
Customers>import customers> click "yes" to the bulk-edit
re-import > choose the file to upload > upload > click next >
leave all the match case the same click next > start import
D. Congratulations! You have
updated all of your customers.
2. Create a product category for
one of the groups that only that group will see. For example a "Hot
Deals" or "Last Chance." That only the Retail group will
have access to. You can also do the
same for the wholesale group if you'd like.
A. In your group
permissions set the product category visibility to reflect the category
you have created. If you made a category for the Retail group make it so
that the Retail group has access and make it so the Wholesale group does
not and vice versa. Make sure to set it for ALL the categories and
subcategories you have products in.
Now you have set up a distinguishing characteristic in the form of a link that will only appear to a specific customer group.

Do you have a solution for hiding categories from non-logged in users? I don't want people that are not logged in to see the Wholesale category. I have not found a way to do this yet. ideas?
