## Features
|
||
|
||
### Customer Accounts
|
||
|
||
Customers can make purchases as guests, or they can create an account.
|
||
|
||
When a customer creates an account, they can manage their details and review their order history.
|
||
|
||
An admin can manage all customers and their details.

|

||
### Customer Groups
|
||
|
||
Admins can segment customers or assign them to different customer groups. This can be useful for marketing purposes.
|
||
|
||
For example, an admin can specify a different pricing or special discounts for specific customer groups.
