Client Groups
Client Groups allow you to group various clients together and quickly identify them at a glance.
You can access this feature at Configuration () > System Settings > Client Groups or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Client Groups.

Create a Client Group
To create a group, fill in the details under Add Client Groups.
- You can assign a color to the group. It will appear in client list, support tickets, and menus (for example, to highlight important customers).
- You can assign a group discount that will apply to all future invoices for those clients. The system applies the discount at the invoice stage, so it will not appear at checkout.
- You can exempt the group from suspensions or terminations. This does not apply to fixed-term or free trial products.
- You can enable Separate Invoices for an entire group.
You can add, edit, and remove client groups here. However, you can't remove a group that is in use.
Use the client's profile area to assign or change their groups.
Domain Pricing Slabs
Domain Pricing Slabs let you specify different prices for clients within a client group. For example, you may wish to set lower domain pricing for a particular client group without offering the blanket discount of the group discount feature. You could even use this to give a single customer custom pricing.
If a TLD doesn't have a set custom price, the system charges the client the default base slab pricing.
Creating a Slab
To create a slab:
- Create a group (see above).
- Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Domain Pricing or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Products/Services > Domain Pricing.
- Click Open Pricing next to the first TLD for which you want to set custom pricing.
- Select the group name from Pricing Slab for.
- Click Activate Pricing Slab.
- Click OK.
- Enter the custom pricing for this domain. The system copies the base slab pricing for your convenience.
- Click Save Changes.
- Repeat this process for each additional domain.
Now, when a member of this client group orders these domains, they will receive the custom slab pricing instead of the default price.
Deactivating a Slab
If you no longer want to offer custom pricing on a particular domain, you can disable the slab at any time. To do this:
- Click Open Pricing next to the TLD.
- Select the group name from Pricing Slab for.
- Click Deactivate Pricing Slab.
Any new orders from clients in this group will now receive the regular price. Any existing domains that clients ordered while the custom pricing was in effect will retain that price. To change them, use the Bulk Pricing Update Utility.
Assigning a Client to a Client Group
To assign a client to a client group:
- Navigate to Clients > View/Search Clients and select the client.
- Select the Profile tab.
- Use the Client Group menu to set the required client group.
- Click Save Changes.
