What is a company account feature?

A company account feature is a B2B eCommerce capability that allows a business customer to operate under a shared company profile instead of using a single individual customer account. It connects multiple users, locations, purchasing rules, and business information to one organization.

A company account can support:

• Company information: Business name, contact details, billing, and shipping information.
• Multiple users: Employees can have individual logins connected to the company.
• Roles and permissions: Different users can receive different access levels.
• Multiple locations: Branches or offices can have separate purchasing and delivery information.
• Customer-specific catalogs: The company can access approved products and pricing.
• Payment terms: Support agreed terms such as Net 30 or Net 60, where available.
• Approval workflows: Orders can require approval from designated users.
• Order history: Authorized users can view relevant company purchases.

Example: A retail chain has 10 store locations and several purchasing employees. A company account can connect those users and locations under one business relationship, while allowing the supplier to manage pricing, catalogs, and purchasing permissions centrally.

Company accounts are useful for complex B2B purchasing relationships, particularly when multiple employees or locations need to collaborate while following company-specific purchasing rules.
