Super Admin
We removed the previous “Sales Rep” quoting features and restructured this into a new role “Super Admin”.
A Super Admin is someone who has a storefront account. Each Super Admin has assigned company accounts and can manage these companies after login into the storefront website. The assignment between Super Admin and Company can be many to many.
Super Admin Seller-Side Management is for merchants to manage super admin creation and company assignment
Super Admin Buyer-Side features allow super admin to check all assigned companies in the Dashboard and masquerade as one of the assigned companies after logging in on the storefront.
Quote Management Feature
Seller side admin users with related quote management permissions can create a quote from scratch to offer customer-specific discounts, negotiate the offer details with the buyer, and allow the buyer to place a one-time order based on the prepared quote.
BundleB2B company users will be able to access the company-level quote history after logging in on the storefront.
Request for Quote Feature
Allow all types of buyers to request a quote from the storefront Buyer types include:
- Guest (No BigCommerce customer account)
- B2C users (BigCommerce registered customer account)
- B2B users (BundleB2B Company users)
Merchant-side Roles and Permissions
Adding a “Sales Staff” attribute to the merchant-side roles. Once a merchant side role is identified as a “Sales Staff” role, all users under this role will only be able to view the company details, orders, and quote requests of company accounts assigned to them. They will not be able to access the information of company accounts they have not been assigned to.
Sales Staff Management Feature
All merchant-side users with a “Sales Staff” type role will display on the Sales Staff listing tab. By default, there is no company assignment to sales staff. You will need to assign companies to a sales staff before they can access information of assigned company accounts. The assignment between Sales Staff and Company can be many to many.
Company-level Tax-Exempt Code
Note! This functionality requires adding a company-level extra field inside BundleB2B, please reach out to our support team if you would like to enable this feature.
Allow merchants to configure a “company tax-exempt code” for each BundleB2B company. The company-level tax-exempt code will synchronize with the BigCommerce individual customer “Tax Exempt Code”.
Once configured, the BundleB2B company tax-exempt code will be the source of truth applied for all company users and super admins (when masquerading as a specific company).
