Easiest way to do this is with a cronjob. You'll need to write your own module and define a cron in there

config.xml

<config> <modules> <[Namespace]_[Module]> <version>1.0.0</version> </[Namespace]_[Module]> </modules> <global> <models> <[namespace]_[module]> <class>[Namespace]_[Module]_Model</class> </[namespace]_[module]> </models> </global> <crontab> <jobs> <[namespace]_[module]_switchgroup> <schedule><cron_expr>* * */1 * *</cron_expr></schedule> <run><model>[namespace]_[module]/cron::setGroup</model></run> </[namespace]_[module]_switchgroup> </jobs> </crontab> </config>

[Namespace]/[Module]/Model/Cron.php

class [Namespace]_[Module]_Model_Cron { public function setGroup() { $collection = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->getCollection() ->addAttributeToFilter('created_at', array('lteq' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-1 month')))) ->addAttributeToFilter('group_id', [old group id]); foreach ($collection as $_customer) { $_customer->setGroupId([the updated id]); $_customer->save(); } } }

might need some tweaking here and there but it basically looks for all 1 month old customers with a customer group ID once per day and updates them to the new group

  • Hi sander, thank your for your efforts to write up the whole code. I was looking to keep a customer in a group for certain time from the date of moving him to the group. example:( customer A is moved to group named free delivery on 9-11-2015 i want him back into general group on 9-12-105 or any specific date.

  • That's basically what above code does. It fetches customers created a month ago and switches them to, for example, a general group Commented Nov 9, 2015 at 10:42
  • thats perfect. How do i do it more specific like for each customer.? some might be two months, some can be 15 days. totally a dynamic date :) Commented Nov 9, 2015 at 10:59
  • You would probably need to set an attribute or something that defines the period they're allowed have free shipping. Or use an observer to see if that attributes exists but something like that would go way beyond the scope of this question Commented Nov 9, 2015 at 11:11
