Example 2: Percentage-Based Tier Pricing

customer_group_id, navigate to the Magento backend:
Customers > Customer Groups
Here, you’ll find a list of all defined customer groups along with their corresponding IDs.Ensure that tier pricing is imported carefully, as mistakes in group or website assignments can lead to pricing inconsistencies.
By leveraging tier pricing with groups and websites, you can create targeted pricing strategies tailored to specific customer segments and markets.
