Introducing GrowerOnline Restricted Item Groups

Advanced Grower Solutions adds restricted item groups feature to the latest release of GrowerOnline to improve the customer experience of purchasing plants from our growers.

Restricted Item Groups

Restricted Item groups allow a grower to easily comply with state regulations regarding the importation of plants across state lines.

With restricted item groups a group can configure what items are shown or disallowed for a customer, helping speed the ordering and compliance process for interstate or inter-country order fulfillment.

Easy Setup of Restricted Items

Simply create a new item group to contain some restricted items.

Then, add some of the items you sell to that group.

Finally, for the customers that are affected, add them to the group you just created.

Control What Shows in Availability

The restricted item group controls how the end customer ordering the plants sees or doesn’t see restricted items on the product availability listing page.

With the restricted item groups feature, the grower can configure items that will be hidden or disabled based on customers that are added to the group.

Restricted items can be:

• hidden from the availability where they are not shown on availability at all for the selected customers
• disabled meaning the item shows on the availability listing, but the customer is unable to add the restricted item to their shopping cart.

The setup and use of the restricted item group feature is simple and straightforward.

Highly Configurable to Meet Your Needs

The restricted items group feature allows the grower to create as many restricted item groups as needed. The grower can assign any number of plants to each group.

Once the item groups are setup, the grower can assign a customer to a restricted item group so that their individual availability display reflects the restricted item group status the grower has configured.

The restricted items group feature in GrowerOnline helps the grower and the customer making the order more easily comply with state regulations saving both grower and customer time and money.
