How to invite your customer?
You have two options to invite your customers: from your Customer profile page or from the Customers menu in the B2B Store.
From the Customer profile page, you will find a "Give Access" button in the B2B store section:
From the B2B Store menu, click on Customers and then on the "Add one" button (Top right) to add one customer or on the "Add multiple" button to add multiple customers at once:
- Add one customer
You can select your customer's email address and the categories (Tags, Seasons and Brands) of products they will see in your B2B Store:
You can add a private message for this customer. It will be displayed in the header, on top of your product list.
- Add multiple customers
The default customer email address will be used to send the invitation. You can also select the categories (Tags, Seasons and Brands) of products they will see in your B2B Store. This is not possible to add a private message while add multiple customer but you can add this message later by editing the customer from the Menu B2B Store > Customer > Edit button:
Once you click on the "Give Access" button, they will receive an email with the login URL (Link) and their password. For information, the email language depends of the default "Language for PDF" of your customers. They can update their password later once they login the to store (Make sure they check their SPAM folder in case).
You can find more details on enabling and selecting products for the B2B Store in this page.
Price level
Once your customer has access to the store, they will see your customized selection of products and priced at their Price Level. You can assign a price level for your customers directly in the customer profile:
If you haven't selected a price level for your customer, the default price level from the B2B Store settings will be used.
Stock Location
If you have enabled the "Display stock" option in the store settings, your customer will see the available stock in the location assigned to them in the customer profile. If you haven't selected a location for your customer, the default location from the B2B Store settings will be used.
Shipping Cost
Once you receive an order from your customer, you can update the shipping cost directly in the sales order. You can also assign a default shipping cost to a stock location in the menu Settings > Locations. This will be the default shipping cost added to the orders assigned to this location:
This is also possible to set up the B2B Store to automatically use the same shipping costs as the last order from the same customer. You can do that from the menu B2B Store > Settings > Setup
Enabling access request
You can add a request access button on the login page. This can be used by customers or prospects to request the access to your B2B Store. You can find more information in the page 'Enabling access request to the B2B Store'.
