Multiple corporate customer accounts (accounts & sub-users)

[AndreiMaz]

Let's add support for multiple corporate customer accounts with configurable roles, permissions and workflows

When you incorporate B2B company accounts in your store, you can simplify the corporate shopping experience by enabling companies to create multiple subaccounts (for employees) with flexible permissions based on user roles in their organization. Depending on the company, a store administrator can adjust promotions and prices to suit their needs, and create highly customized offers that cater to the shoppers’ demands and increase orders

Advantages of a company account:

• Offers unlimited company users and the creation of additional accounts, which simplifies corporate purchases.
• Includes support for a smart company account hierarchy with different roles and permissions for placing orders.
• Provides a mechanism for merchants to increase income by offering company store credit as a payment method.
• Supports the management of all company accounts in the Admin.

Currently it's supported in https://www.selectsystems.com.au/company-management-system

It is common to have some clerks preparing the orders and other approving them

[seanrockster]

subaccounts for example, company X has several users sharing common data (addresses, permissions etc) and company X has n branches, each of the branches has multiple users sharing, possibly, a different set of addresses and permissions. Maybe not very common however we have a few cases like this.

We have a couple of clients using this feature. They use two roles one is Buyer who can view the companies assigned prices/products and prepare the order and another for Authorizer who can prepare orders (add products to cart) and authorize them (proceed beyond the shopping cart)
