Smarty customer groups plugin – Inject customer groups into Smarty on PrestaShop

Description

Access customer groups in Smarty on PrestaShop (Ideal for B2B)

Easily retrieve your logged-in customers’ groups directly in your PrestaShop templates to adapt your display (hidden prices, specific banners, B2B menus). No more complex FrontController overrides: this module injects data cleanly and gets straight to the point.

Main Features

• Native and lightweight injection of customer groups into Smarty’s global $customer.groups_detail object.
• Simplified conditional display in the front office (e.g. hide add-to-cart button for standard visitors).
• Optimal performance: no unnecessary SQL queries executed if the visitor is not logged in.
• Plug & Play installation with a fully documented configuration page and practical code examples.

Why choose this module?

By default, PrestaShop does not expose the full details of a customer’s groups in the front office. To work around this, developers often waste time creating heavy PHP overrides that are hard to maintain or redundant queries. This micro-module solves the problem elegantly, securely (using DbQuery and prepared statements), and is fully autonomous.

Technical Compatibility

This module has been developed according to strict PrestaShop standards. It is fully compatible with PrestaShop 1.7, 8.x, and 9.x (PHP 8+ ready). With no overrides at all, it ensures long-term stability during future core updates.
