# createCustomerPriceGroup

mutation · in the family [Customer price group](/reference/customer-price-group/)

## What it does

Create a new customer price group — named customers who get special pricing at your organization.

Create a CustomerPriceGroup in the caller's org group.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Pricing** — Prices, price schedules, promotions, coupons and the money rules of selling.

- Owner
- Manager
- An API key whose scope allows `api:createCustomerPriceGroup`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [NewCustomerPriceGroupInput](/types/NewCustomerPriceGroupInput/) `NewCustomerPriceGroupInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[CustomerPriceGroup](/types/CustomerPriceGroup/) `CustomerPriceGroup!` — A CustomerPriceGroup — the customer-classification / pricing-ELIGIBILITY axis (retail tiers: standard · member · vip · wholesale_lite — merchant-defined, the registry's roster is illustrative). An eligibility KEY, NOT a price store: the group carries NO rate fields — its benefits are expressed EXCLUSIVELY promotions scoped to it (PromotionScope.priceGroupIds); the priceListId CARRIER is live while the group itself stays rate-field-FREE (the anti-price-plane guard's letter: the PLANE is the PriceList's, the group is the eligibility KEY + the carrier). The axis law: CustomerPriceGroup = pricing eligibility · Segment = marketing audience · CorporateCustomer = B2B identity — three distinct axes a customer may carry independently. Assignment v1 rides the LoyaltyMember carrier (member.priceGroupId, the PRE- home; OrgCustomer and Consumer bind per their locks, the Consumer binding SUPERSEDES). Resolution DEGRADES: anonymous / no member / no group / group non-ACTIVE-or-deselected ⇒ no eligibility — a lapsed group NEVER kills a cart. Org participation is the canned-pool selection (≤ 32; ABSENT = every org). At most 32 ACTIVE per org group. Doom is -gated by non-doomed LoyaltyMembers carrying the group; deactivate stays FREE (a paused group's scoped promotions simply stop matching). NO code/identity — no UNIQ marker (nothing bearer-resolvable rides a group).

## Dry run

Add `dryRun: true` to the request envelope (`extensions.at`) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries `dryRun: true`, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
