Member groups let you group your members together (into groups like "Professionals", "Instructors", "Ambassadors", etc) so that you can target entire groups with discounts and emails rather than individual members. On the Member groups page, you can view and edit your current member groups and create new ones.
To edit an existing member group's name and description, click on the group in the list. Click Add member group to create a new group, and enter a name and brief description for your member group.
Setting a discount limit
A discount limit is the total value of discounts a member can receive during their membership. It does not limit the member’s spending or the number of orders they can place. The limit resets when the membership renews.
Discount limits are not enforced at checkout.
This means a member may still be able to place an order that receives discounted pricing even if they are close to (or have exceeded) the limit. Once the order is completed, Alliance Pro will update the member’s “discount used” total, and you can choose to suspend that membership should they exceed that limit.
If you need a strict cap, or want to automate this step, we recommend using an operational workflow (e.g. Shopify Flow) to flag over-limit orders for review before fulfillment.
To set up a discount limit:
From your Alliance Pro dashboard, go to Member groups.
Select an existing group or create a new one.
Under Discount limit, enter the maximum discount amount in your store’s currency. This is the total amount of discounts a member can receive over their membership.
Click Save.
After a member exceeds their discount limit, their membership is suspended. You can reinstate the member's account from the Members page, or wait until the membership is automatically renewed. Learn how to manage members.
Auto-approve member by email domain
The auto-approve by email domain feature in Alliance Pro allows store administrators to streamline the approval process for new members applying with email addresses from specific domains. When an application is submitted with a matching email domain, the applicant is automatically approved and added to the designated member group. This functionality is particularly useful for brands that want to automate membership approvals for their employees or trusted partners, saving time and reducing administrative work.
Set up automatic approval by email domain
Adding an auto-approved domain: Inside Member group, you can specify one or more email domains to be automatically approved. For example, adding "oneupcomponents.com" ensures that any application from an email address ending in "@oneupcomponents.com" is auto-approved and assigned to this member group.
Automatic member group assignment: Once an email domain is added, applicants with that domain are not only auto-approved but also placed into this specific member group, such as 'Employees' or 'Partners,' for easy management.
Managing auto-approved domains:
Adding a domain: To add a domain, simply click "Add domain," enter the domain name, and confirm. The domain will be listed in the auto-approve settings.
Deleting a domain: If a domain needs to be removed, click the delete icon next to the domain name and confirm. Future applications from this domain will then require manual approval.
Customizing the auto-approved membership email message: Under Preferences, you can customize the membership approval message sent to these members. The default message states: "Thank you for applying. We've automatically approved your membership based on your email address, which typically means you're with one of our industry partners".
Use cases
Employees: Automatically approve and group employees from your company or industry partner companies.
Trusted partners: Simplify access for strategic partners, vendors, or long-term collaborators.
