Subaccounts for WooCommerce

Subaccounts for WooCommerce allows the creation of subaccounts for your WooCommerce customers and subscribers.

The ability to create multiple subaccounts tied to a main parent account is extremely useful in all of the following usage scenarios:

• companies that need to add and manage accounts for their employees
• stores that need to place orders from different branches
• businesses with multiple decision-makers for purchases
• when parent accounts need to supervise and monitor all the activities made by their own sub-accounts (purchases, expenses, quotes, etc.) and even place orders on behalf of them;
• in the case of company accounts that need to place orders from different purchasing departments or through multiple purchasing managers (B2B and similar);
• in those situations where a sales agent or sales representative needs to create new accounts for newly acquired customers and, if desired, place orders on their behalf.

Two modes are available:

• Sub-User mode: multiple separate accounts grouped together under one parent account (e.g. Holding Company).
• Multi-User mode: multiple users can place orders on behalf of the master account (useful in case of Corporate Accounts).
